Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the options given below:-

____ the task seemed daunting at first, the team managed to complete it within the stipulated time.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Two contrasting clauses are joined, so a subordinating conjunction of contrast is needed: 'Although the task seemed daunting..., the team managed...'. 'Inspite of' must be followed by a noun/gerund, 'since' shows reason, and 'nonetheless' is an adverb, not a conjunction.
