(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.

Just checking if someone could help on the above query?

Can you check this thread please and see if your doubt is clarified?

I don’t understand the second blank and third blank connotaion .Can someone help me in solving the problem?

Did you read the thread linked above? It’s about the connotations of blanks 2 and 3
