3. _________ standards of living have fallen, polls still show the current government will win the next election. (a) Where (b) Because (c) Although

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Although standards of living have fallen, polls still show the current government will win the next election.

Explanation:

The word although implies an expression by which a situation occurs that, despite the adverse antecedents, is generated in a surprising way.

Thus, for example, it shows that a result occurs despite not being sought: "although he did not train enough, the boxer won the fight".

Thus, this word functions grammatically as a breaking point between the antecedent and the result, clarifying that they are not logically linked.

Answer 2

I think it’s although!
