Question: 274

4. Although the effects of the tornado were destructive, it brought the town together through a sense of _______.

  • A. aversion
  • B. camaraderie
  • C. virulence
  • D. animosity

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. "Although" is one of the words you may see on the test that signals a contrast within a two-clause sentence. When you come across words or phrases such as "despite," "although," or "even though," keep in mind that the word you are looking for is likely to contrast with another point the sentence makes. Of the choices available, only camaraderie (meaning "goodwill among or between friends") offers sufficient contrast to a tornado that had ruinous effects.
