7 Choose the answer that best completes the sentence. __ African American men were given the right to vote by th Amendment various discriminatory practices still prevented them fro exercising this right (1) A Although B However C Primarily (1) D Includina (1)

## Step 1<br />The sentence is discussing the right to vote for African American men, which was granted by the Amendment. However, despite this, various discriminatory practices still prevented them from exercising this right. The sentence is looking for a word that can express this contrast between the granting of the right to vote and the continued discrimination.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Looking at the options, we can eliminate 'Primarily' and 'Including' as they do not express contrast. 'Primarily' is used to indicate the main or most important thing, while 'Including' is used to add more items to a list.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Between 'Although' and 'However', 'Although' is the correct choice. 'Although' is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has been mentioned before, which fits the context of the sentence perfectly. 'However' is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has been mentioned before, but it is not used to introduce a contrastive statement in the same sentence.
