Hi experts,

Bunuel ExpertsGlobal5 bb GMATNinja

Could someone please explain the reason for eliminating option B here? Further, I don't see any contrast in the given sentence. Celebrated for one performance and received accolades for another. I feel Usage of Besides is more appropriate here.

Thanks.

Hello ViharSaladi,

We hope this finds you well.

In this context, "Besides" does not convey the same sense of contrast that "Although" does; "Besides" conveys a meaning along the lines of "In addition to".

We hope this helps.
All the best!
