Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Although she was tired,.
- "Although she was tired but" - This part of the sentence contains a redundancy.
- The word "although" already introduces a contrast or contradiction, so there's no need to use "but" immediately after it.
-
"Although" effectively conveys the contrast between being tired and still going to work.
The corrected sentence is: "Although she was tired, she went to work."
