Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Confession is good for the soul ________________ after the soul has been claimed.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. even.
Context: The sentence conveys the idea that confession benefits the soul regardless of circumstances — including after the soul has been claimed (perhaps metaphorically by death or fate). The word even emphasizes this contrast effectively.
Meaning of the words:
-
since – indicates reason or cause, does not fit here.
-
even – emphasizes 'still true despite circumstances,' fits perfectly.
-
though – suggests contrast but does not flow smoothly in this structure.
-
still – could imply continuation but does not suit the context as well as “even.”
Correct word: even
Final Sentence: Confession is good for the soul even after the soul has been claimed.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
