Preview: Explanations
1."unless"(c)
'Unless' means 'if not' — without studying harder, you won't pass. 'Unless' introduces the only condition that would change the outcome.
2."Although"(a)
'Although' introduces a concession — being the youngest might suggest fewer good ideas, but the opposite is true.
3."as long as"(c)
'As long as' sets a condition — the car loan depends on returning it by Friday. It means 'on the condition that'.
4."so that"(b)
'So that' expresses purpose — avoiding traffic was her goal. 'Because' would give a reason, but here the focus is on intention.
5."Even though"(b)
'Even though' shows strong concession — a higher salary would normally persuade someone to move, but she stayed.
