Question

All had betrayed him in his hour of need, but there he was, full of hope that the truth will prevail. 

• A. still, he was there, full of hope
• B. although, he was there, full of hope
• C. yet, there he was, full of hope
• D. and there he was, full of hope
• E.

Hint:

Use yet when introducing a contrast between two clauses, as it shows a shift in the situation or idea.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence contrasts the betrayal of the subject with the display of hope. The word yet is the most fitting conjunction to show this contrast. - Option (A) still doesn't create a strong enough contrast between the betrayal and the hope. - Option (B) although does not fit well with the structure here and disrupts the flow of the sentence. - Option (C) yet effectively introduces a contrasting idea and fits the tone of the sentence. - Option (D) and simply connects the two parts but does not highlight the contrast adequately. Thus, Option (C) is the best choice.
