maggie27 · Answer

Correct guys OA is D.

I had a doubt regarding the usage of "Although". I believed that although can be used to set off contrast only in case when one part of the statement os positive and other negative. For eg. "Although I did not study much,I scored a decent percentile".
Whereas in the stimuli above, both the parts of statement seems to be on positive note.
Please help me with the correct concept on it.

I have the same doubt as Maggie27 , experts please clarify ?

shonakshi · Answer

confused about the use of ALTHOUGH when both the contrast statements are positive

sayantanc2k · Answer

The question seems to be problematic. I agree with your reasoning. The correct conjunction here should be  not only... but also , not  although .

Correct Option: D

Although   he is most famous for creating exquisite jewelry ,  Louis Comfort Tiffany  was also an important innovator in the fields of architecture and interior design during the Art Nouveau movement of the early 20th century.

We need a Modifier to modify "Noun modifier" (he is most famous for creating exquisite jewelry - modify Louis Comfort Tiffany), not a conjuction

A. Being that - 
"Being" goes only with Human or Alien such as "Human being" or "Alien Being", never to be address to pronoun, Noun, phrase, clause or modifier

B. Because - usage max when it is with cause and effect related statement, "becasue" is used as conjuction, not as a modifier

C. Whenever - usage while addressing "TIME specific", it can be used as conjuction and interrogative adverb kind statement

D. Although - can be used as a Modifing Noun, but without a conjuction verb, here it modifies Noun as mnetioned above

E. Not with standing the fact that - wrong phrase to modify Noun Modifier, we need Prepositional Phrase
