Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Although he is an honest man.
- Although means "in spite of the fact that...".
- “Although” is a conjunction that is often used to show a contrast.
- You use although to introduce a subordinate clause which contains a statement which contrasts with the statement in the main clause.
- Ex: Although he is known to only a few, his reputation among them is very great.
Therefore, 'Although he is an honest man' is the most apt option to be used here.
