The anwer for this question is "Though" and the explanation is that "though" doesn't need any premise or prerequisite setences, while "even if" needs one. Is it true?
I seem to have seen that "though" and "even if" are interchangeable. But according to the explanation, does "even if" need something like accepted truths like the following?
A- She is gorgeous B - Even if she is gorgeous, she won't become an actress without excellent acting talent.
330-69
ex)Thanks to the computer and other new technologies, the English language is growing up by up to 20,000 words a year. Though/Even if the bulk of these new terms are scientific, technical, or of otherwise specialized application, hundreds of terms find their way into the main body of English each year...
