If we use although in one part a sentence, its counter part of the sentence should overcome the obligations in the first part

1. both are +ve --- incorrect
2. both are +ve --- incorrect
3. eventhough none is used its still on the +ve side
4. Not all the .... its the correct formation -- correct
5. all of the is not a correct idiom --- incorrect

+1 kudos .. if U like this
