Complete the following sentence with correct subordinating conjunction;

_______ he worked hard, he did not win.

  • A.However
  • B.Though
  • C.Nevertheless
  • D.Moreover

Answer: B

The conjunction is Though: 'Though he worked hard, he did not win.'

'Though' is a subordinating conjunction of contrast: it introduces a dependent clause and links it to the main clause in one sentence, here contrasting hard work with failure.

'However', 'Nevertheless' and 'Moreover' are conjunctive adverbs, not subordinating conjunctions; they cannot join a dependent clause to a main clause like this, and 'Moreover' adds information instead of contrasting it.
