Options
- AAlthough it was raining, we had the picnic.
- BAlthough it was raining, still we had the picnic.
- CAlthough it was raining, yet we had the picnic.
- DAlthough it was raining, even then we had the picnic.
Correct answer
A. Although it was raining, we had the picnic.
Step-by-step solution
The conjunction 'although' is used to introduce a subordinate clause that expresses a contrast. In standard English grammar, a main clause following an 'although' clause does not require an additional conjunction or adverb like 'still', 'yet', or 'even then'. These additions make the sentence redundant. Therefore, the correct sentence is 'Although it was raining, we had the picnic.' Answer: Although it was raining, we had the picnic.
