—Yes. They supported my father’s schooling ______ they were very poor.

A．as if

B．even though

C．so that

D．what if

Answer 1

B

解析试题分析：句意：——你的祖父母是非常伟大的。——是的。尽管他们很穷，他们支持我父亲上学。A. as if 仿佛，好像；B. even though 尽管，即使；C. so that 以便于；D. what if倘若，假使；结合句意，前半句表示支持上学，后半句表示家里穷，前后表示让步关系，故用连词even though。故选B。
考点：考查连词的用法。
