Choose the most appropriate option to complete the given sentence:

It is a paradox, ___ it is true. _ man hankers after immortality, he acknowledges the inevitability of death.

but / However

yet / Though

and / Since

because / As

✅ Correct Option: 2

The first blank needs a contrastive conjunction joining two clauses: 'a paradox, yet it is true'. The second blank needs a subordinating concessive to link the two contradictory attitudes: 'Though man hankers after immortality, he acknowledges death'. 'However' cannot join clauses with a comma, so 'yet / Though' is correct.
