Question

Select the grammetically correct sentence from the following Statements :

• A. Although that he failed in Mathematics, but he received a degree in Engineering.
• B. Although he had failed in Mathematics, that he received a degree in Engineering.
• C. Although he had failed in Mathematics, he received a degree in Engineering.
• D. Although he failed in that Mathematics, but he received a degree in Engineering.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the grammatically correct sentence from the given options, we need to analyze the structure and usage of conjunctions and clauses in each statement.

1. Understanding the conjunction "Although":
   • The word "Although" is a subordinating conjunction used to introduce a subordinate clause. It indicates a contrast between two statements.
2. Analysis of the options:
   • Option 1: "Although that he failed in Mathematics, but he received a degree in Engineering."
     • This option incorrectly uses both "although" and "but" together, which is redundant. We should use either "although" or "but" to show contrast, not both.
   • Option 2: "Although he had failed in Mathematics, that he received a degree in Engineering."
     • Here, the use of the word "that" in the second clause is incorrect and unnecessary after "Although". It disrupts the sentence structure.
   • Option 3: "Although he had failed in Mathematics, he received a degree in Engineering."
     • This option correctly uses "although" without any redundant conjunctions. The structure clearly presents a contrast between failing in mathematics and receiving a degree.
   • Option 4: "Although he failed in that Mathematics, but he received a degree in Engineering."
     • Similar to Option 1, this option incorrectly uses both "although" and "but" together, along with incorrect sentence structure with "that Mathematics".
3. Conclusion:
   • The grammatically correct sentence is from Option 3: "Although he had failed in Mathematics, he received a degree in Engineering."
   • This sentence correctly shows a contrast between two events using the conjunction "Although" without redundant conjunctions or incorrect phrase structures.
