Fill in the blank with the correct word: ______ he was late, he came home by nine.
- a.Even
- b.Although
- c.Because
- d.Despite
Answer: (B) Although
"Although" introduces a concessive clause showing a contrast (being late, yet still arriving by nine); "Because" would wrongly suggest lateness caused his early arrival, and "Despite" needs a noun phrase, not a full clause, to follow it.
