B 尽管
D 即使
although是连词,翻译成尽管、虽然,通常用在句首或句中。
例如Although he is only seven,he really knows a lot.
或者He really knows a lot, although he is only seven.
despite也翻译成尽管,但它是个介词,这是与although的最大区别。
举个例子:Despite his young age, he really knows a lot.
也就是说despite后面只能加名词性短语或代词。
Although 是用来引导让步状语从句的,后面要接一个句子,而Despite可以用来引导短语,在这个句子中,the fact 是名词,所以不能用D项
Although后面跟句子,the fact算是名词,后面跟的一句话是作fact 的同位语,所以although后面一句话,不算句子
although是副词,fact是名词,副词后不直接跟名词
despite 用于短语,although用于句子
