Choose the most appropriate pair of words to complete the sentence below:

______he had no great hopes of being selected for the post, ______he applied.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

The sentence expresses concession: despite low hopes, he applied. The correlative pair 'Although ... yet' is grammatically standard. 'Though ... but' incorrectly doubles the contrast conjunctions, and 'Since/As' give a causal meaning that does not fit.
