Why we cant use although instead of though?

Owaissabiri said:   6 years ago
Though should come in the beginning.

Lingesh said:   6 years ago
Prevails is simple present tense. There is no need for using still prevailing.

I think the 2nd option is wrong, "has been banned" We have to use "was banned".

The word 'still' indicates present tense so we have to use prevails not prevailed.

Abhishek said:   8 years ago
Yet the custom prevails among some groups in India. I think this is the right answer because ' Though' is followed by 'YET'.

Raga said:   8 years ago
Why can't we use simple past i.e., was banned in 2nd option?

There is no word such as 'banned'. It is 'ban' even if used in past tense.

Krish said:   9 years ago
Still represents the present tense.
