Hints for this Quiz
Look for a cause. After "weil", the verb goes to the end.
Use "weil" to give a reason and send the conjugated verb to the end of the subordinate clause: "weil ... ist". "Denn" cannot introduce a subordinate clause before the main clause, "trotzdem" is an adverb (not a conjunction), and "obwohl" expresses contrast, which doesn’t fit here.
Think "nevertheless"; after it, the verb comes immediately (inversion).
"Trotzdem" expresses contrast (nevertheless) and triggers inversion: "trotzdem schicke ich...". "Weil" and "denn" express cause, not contrast, and "obwohl" would need a subordinate clause.
After "weil", put the conjugated verb at the end of the clause.
"Denn" is a coordinating conjunction; word order stays normal. With "weil", the verb must move to the end: "weil die Ablehnung unbegründet ist." The given "weil" sentence is ungrammatical.
Translate mentally: "even though" = "obwohl"; check verb-last in the clause.
Use "obwohl" for contrast: even though documents were submitted, a rejection arrived. The verb goes to the end in the subordinate clause ("eingereicht habe"). "Trotzdem" is an adverb, and "denn" cannot introduce a subordinate clause.
Find the sentence that includes "trotzdem"; the verb should come right after it.
Only option B uses "trotzdem" correctly and shows inversion ("trotzdem lehnt sie...").
If the verb is at the end, you need a subordinating conjunction that fits the meaning—here, a reason: "weil".
The clause already shows verb-last ("war" at the end), which matches a subordinating conjunction: "weil". With "denn", the word order would be "ich war krank" (not verb-last).
