Which choice completes the text so that it conforms to the conventions of Standard English?

A

because

B

while

C

although

D

even if

Correct Answer: D

Choice D is the best answer. "Even if" introduces a condition that does not change the main clause's outcome.

Choice A is incorrect because "because" implies a cause. Choice B is incorrect because "while" implies time or contrast. Choice C is incorrect because "although" implies contrast.
