Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'Although'.
- The conjunction "although" is used to introduce a subordinate clause that contrasts with the main clause.
- The sentence structure suggests a contrast between being the best candidate and not winning the elections.
- Options 1, 3, and 4 are grammatically incorrect or do not provide the intended contrast in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
Complete Sentence: "Although he was the best candidate, he did not win the elections."
- Option 1: "Because" is incorrect because it does not provide a contrasting relationship.
- Option 3: "Until" is incorrect because it suggests a condition rather than a contrast.
- Option 4: "As" is incorrect because it implies causation rather than contrast.
