Worked Solution

Step 1: Identify the relationship between the two sentences — studying hard is expected to lead to passing, but they STILL did not pass. This is a contrast/concession. Step 2: "Even though" expresses a concession: even though X (expected outcome), Y (unexpected result). Step 3: "Even though the students studied hard, they did not pass the examination." — this captures the contrast. Answer: even though

Correct answer: even though
