Choose the most appropriate word to fill in the blank:

He didn't take the umbrella __________ it was raining heavily.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The sentence shows contrast: heavy rain would normally make him take the umbrella, yet he did not. A concessive conjunction is needed, so "even though" fits. "Since" would give a reason for taking it, "in order to" shows purpose, and "as soon as" shows time, none of which express contrast.
