I agree with Ranji.. the underlined portion after although should bring out contrast...ranji wrote:Although X, Y.

Option A.
This option looks so correct but it is wrong with a microscopic eye someone could detect the hidden error in this question.
The underlined part of the question should carry a contrast since the sentence begins with an 'Although'
Therefore this option is not correct.
Option B
awkward sentence construction.This is visibly wrong.
Option C.
wrong sentence construction.
Option D.
'Moscow proceedings' well the proceedings was only held there not of there.
This option is not correct.
Option E.
This is the correct option as the underlined part of the sentence suggest a contrast in line with the use of 'Although' at the beginning of the sentence.
