Please ALWAYS remember, the GMAT tests 90% logical meaning and 10% mechanics (grammar), so always emphasize on meaning over grammar, as is the case with this question. If your foundation is try to POE base on grammar, you will not improve on SC.
C contains a severe meaning distortion, because "even though" is used to introduce 2 contrasting effects (a good and a bad). Consider below examples:
- even though smoking hurts your lung, it makes you happy.
- even though the student never particiates in class, he always score top.
Now consider below examples (and they are clearly illogical):
- even though smoking hurts your lung, it causes cancer.
- even though the student never participates in class, he doesn't do well in the exam.
Do you recognize the problem here? the correct usage of even though should be :"even though (xxxx is bad), (xxxx has some good effects)", or "even though (xxxx is good), (xxxx has some bad effects). We can never have "even though (xxxx has bad effect A), (xxxx has bad effect B).
