(2024 Edition) Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence Series - Session 4

Hi Team,

For the below problem, why have the blank 3 be taken as a negative connotation and for second blank the connotation has to be positive. I understand that ‘even though’ denotes contrast which has a negative meaning in the second part.
For the first part, ‘and’ can be taken as a support and the projects progress is hindered which is negative so the blank 1 would also be negative and hence something negative.
