I acknowledge his effort. That said, without results I can't give him credit.

正解 · Answer

とはいえ

解説 · Why

とはいえ concedes the prior statement and then qualifies it: "I acknowledge his effort. That said, without results I can't give credit." The distractors are N1 patterns for quoting, topic-raising, or reason — none concede.

誤答 · Why the other options are wrong

とあって — 〜とあって gives a reason ("given that ~"), not a concession.

とばかりに — 〜とばかりに means "as if to say ~", attaching to a quote — wrong structure.

ときたら — 〜ときたら introduces a topic with exasperation, not concession.
