Answer 1

Hint: We need to understand the concept of conjunction and what it expresses and then read the sentence carefully and make sure that the answer you choose should be the correct one. The conjunction is one of the important topics that plays an important role in the english grammar.

Complete answer:
Let us analyze the given options
Option A is incorrect : The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstandingSo we are not using this one as the correct option .

Option B is correct :Option B is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentences to express a contrast.Thus the option B is the correct sentence formed so we are using this as the proper option for the given sentences.

Option C is incorrect : The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding .And, so do not express contrast. So we are not using this one as the correct option .Thus this also the incorrect answer for the given sentences.

Option D is incorrect : Option D is incorrect as 'in spite of' is a prepositional phrase and not a conjunction.So the prepositional phrase cannot be used as the conjunction for that purpose we are not using this as the correct option and it is incorrect.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: While using conjunctions we need to understand that the meaning of the sentence must not be changed. We must ensure that it conveys the same meaning as the statement is providing.
