Cyclone Idai killed at least 157 people in Zimbabwe and Mozambique although it tore across Southern Africa.

Options

A. at least 157 people
B. it tore across
C. although
D. Cyclone Idai killed

Answer

C

Explanation

The use of conjunction ‘although’ is incorrect in the sentence. Although means in spite of the fact that. Example: The coach ordered them to keep running although they were completely tired. This conjunction is not providing correct meaning to the sentence. It should be replaced by ‘as’ giving reasons to form a contextually correct sentence. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
