Answer 1

Hint: In this question we have to join the words using subordinating conjunctions. Conjunctions are the words usually used to join two or more sentences together. Generate alternative answers then opt for the correct one. Continually build the meaning of the sentences then opt.

Complete answer:
The conjunctions are used to express contrast in a sentence that are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding are known as subordinating conjunctions.
The word or phrase indicates that a clause has informative value to add to the sentence's main idea, signaling a cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.

‘Let us analyze the given options’ :
Option A) In this option the word ‘although’ is the conjunction used to join the two sentences together to express a contrast. Hence, it is the correct option to be opted.
Option B) In this option the word ‘and’ is the conjunction used to join two sentences but it is not correct when used here as they do not express contrast. Hence, it is not the correct option to be opted.
Option C) In this option the word ‘so’ is the conjunction used to join the two sentences but it is not correct when used here as they do not express contrast. Hence, it is not the correct option to be opted.
Option D) In this option ‘in spite of being’ phrase is used which is the preposition phrase not the conjunction. Hence, it is not the correct option to be opted.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: We can determine the correct option with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer. Conjunctions can connect two words or two groups of words that are used in the same way i.e. they are the same part of speech or they are grammatically alike.
