Answer» ‘Even if’ is used to stress that ‘something will HAPPEN despite something else that MIGHT prevent’, which isn’t the case here. So, it must be replaced. The sentence implies that ‘despite the fact that nothing new has been DONE by the William sisters, their condition has improved.’ The phrase ‘even though’ means ‘in spite of the fact that’ and is used as a stronger WAY to say ‘though’ or ‘although’. It completely fits with the context of the sentence. ‘everything’ can’t be used with ‘even though’ as it does not go with the context. ‘as though’ and ‘as if’ mean the same. They are used to describe how a situation seems to be. Both these don’t fit with the context. Thus, only D is the CORRECT answer. |
