Fill in the blank using the most suitable connector from the options given below:

I knew giving advice to him was futile_____ it was bound to be rejected.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The second clause gives the reason the advice was futile, so the causal connector 'as' (since) is required: futile as it was bound to be rejected. 'Yet', 'still', and 'but' express contrast, which reverses the intended logic.
