| (A) Now that the metro line has been extended to Dwarka, Sunita no longer drives to her office in Connaught Place. | (III) now that | Now that means “because something has now changed”. The metro has already reached Dwarka. “No longer drives” shows the change that followed. |
| (B) The housing society allows tenants to park in the basement provided they register their vehicle numbers with the secretary. | (IV) provided | Provided means “only if”. It gives one condition. Tenants may park there only after they register their vehicle numbers. |
| (C) Even though the old footbridge had been declared unsafe years ago, the villagers went on using it every day. | (II) even though | Even though means “in spite of the fact that”. It is used with a real fact. The bridge really was declared unsafe. Still, the villagers kept using it. |
| (D) Keep a few passport-size photographs in your file in case the bank asks for one more with the form. | (I) in case | In case means “to be ready if something happens”. The bank may or may not ask for another photo. You keep the photos ready just for that chance. |
