Please clarify ...
Which one is correct ?
1. Although it is called a sea , the Caspian is the largest lake on Earth.
2. Although called a sea , the Caspian is the largest lake on Earth.
3. Though it is called a sea , the Caspian is the largest lake on Earth.
4. Though called a sea , the Caspian is the largest lake on Earth.
It says in my grammar book that " Although " should be followed by a subordinate(dependent) clause , which means option 2 is wrong . AM I CORRECT ?
But nothing is said regarding "though " (whether it should be followed by a subordinate(dependent) clause or not ) . So what about the 3rd and 4th options ?
First of all , am I right in saying that the 4th option DOES NOT contain a subordinate clause(for though) ? Because a clause must contain a subject and a verb and both are missing in option 4 (for though).
PLEASE REPLY!! I am very confused.
