Concessive vs. corrective contrast: pick the clause that reverses the initial suspicion Stem: "Although initial investigations pointed towards him …" Choose the completion that resolves the contrast appropriately.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: the subsequent events proved that he was innocent

Explanation:


Concept
"Although" introduces a contrast with what follows. If early probes pointed to him, a contrasting resolution is that later events cleared him.


Option analysis
the subsequent events proved that he was innocent — direct contrast and grammatically correct. ✅(a), (b), (e) all reinforce guilt and so do not contrast the concessive setup.(c) is ungrammatical ("was guilt").


Final Answer
the subsequent events proved that he was innocent.
