Question and options
Fill in the blank by choosing the correct alternative.
To make a career in economics one should normally have a post graduate degree __________ a few careers may be available after graduating with economics as one of the subjects.
- since
- although
- especially
- however
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - although
The second clause concedes an exception to the first: 'one should normally have a postgraduate degree, although a few careers may be available after graduating'. 'Although' is the right concessive connector; since/especially do not fit, and 'however' cannot join clauses without punctuation.
