Question

7 choose the answer that best completes the sentence. ______ the 1941 march was canceled, the 1963 march was attended by 200,000 black and white americans. a however b instead c thus d although

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the two clauses: the 1941 march was canceled (a negative event) and the 1963 march had a large attendance (a positive event). We need a conjunction that shows contrast.

• Option A "However" is an adverb (needs a semicolon or period before it), so it's incorrect.
• Option B "Instead" implies a replacement, which doesn't fit the context.
• Option C "Thus" shows cause - effect, not contrast.
• Option D "Although" is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a contrast (even though the 1941 march was canceled, the 1963 march had a big turnout), fitting the sentence structure.

Answer:

D. Although
