Discussion
Select the grammatically correct form of the given sentence from the following options. Even then I like him, I cannot excuse his offence.
Answer: C
The correct form is 'Though I like him, I cannot excuse his offence.'
'Though' shows contrast between liking him and not excusing his offence. 'Even then' is wrongly used here as a conjunction.
'Before', 'whether' and 'when' do not express the contrast and make the sentence illogical.
The sentence has a contrast between the two parts, so a word of concession is needed. 'Though' means despite the fact that, and the correct sentence reads 'Though I like him, I cannot excuse his offence'. The phrase 'even then' means 'despite that' and cannot join two clauses.
