一題英文有關Although和despite的用法?

(問題). ______the dense of smell can provide us with important signals,it is not as useful as hearing.
(A)Although
(B)However
(C)Because
(D)Despite

請問這題的答案和despite/although用法上的差別,我只知道although後面引導的是一個有主詞跟動詞的句子,然後despite是介係詞片語但可以用despite the fact that....的用法,這題不太懂要怎麼寫。謝謝

although是「從屬連接詞」,可用來帶出一個副詞子句,當主要子句述部的修飾語,提供一個與主句相反,但重要性較低的資訊。although用在本句的the dense smell can provide us with important signals子句之前時,讓它成為一個副詞子句。

despite是介系詞,比片語介系詞in spite of更常用於文章寫作。despite the fact =介系詞片語,用在本句,當作主句述部的修飾語。that the dense smell can provide us with important signals是一個限定性質的同位語,與前面的名詞fact同位,屬於「名詞子句」,需要使用that。和although相似,despite the fact that也是用來帶出重要性較低,且與主句不同方向的資訊。這兩種寫法可以交換使用,讓文章的句型變化較多。

按你的文法理解:
句子是
"The dense of smell"(N)主詞 + "can provide" (V)詞...

Although便對囉。

不是Despite是因為你說的文法,要改寫為:

Despite the dense smell providing us important signals, it is not as useful as hearing.
