Question

---- the sample size was small, the findings were consistent with those of three earlier studies.

Accepted Answer

Even though — Küçük örneklem, bulguların tutarlı çıkmasını zorlaştıran bir etkendir; bu beklenmedik sonucu 'even though' (-e rağmen) kurar. 'Because' küçük örneklemi tutarlılığın nedeni yaparak mantığı bozar. 'So that' amaç, 'as long as' koşul, 'now that' ise güncel bir sebep bildirir.
