Question

【题目】 (2016·北京)My grandfather still plays tennis now and then, ___________ he’s in his nineties.

A. as long as B. as if C. even though D. in case

Answer 1

【答案】C

【解析】考查状语从句。句意：即使是九十多岁了，我的爷爷仍然可以时不时地打打网球。as long as只要，引导条件状语从句；as if似乎，引导方式状语从句；even though即使，引导让步状语从句；in case以防，引导目的状语从句。这里是转折关系，故选C。
