Tạm dịch: (3) _____ the viola is only a little bit bigger than the violin, it can be hard to tell them apart. (Vì đàn viola chỉ lớn hơn violin một chút nên thật khá khó để phân biệt chúng với nhau)
=> Hai vế có mối quan hệ nguyên nhân-kết quả nên ta dùng "since". Trạng từ "only" càng làm rõ mối quan hệ này hơn.
*Note: Ở đây không thể dùng "although" vì chúng không có mối quan hệ tương phản-đối lập: "Mặc dù đàn viola chỉ lớn hơn đàn violin một chút nhưng thật khá khó để phân biệt chúng với nhau" -> nghĩa không phù hợp, nếu nói "dù chỉ nhỏ hơn một chút nhưng dễ phân biệt" thì hợp lý vì thực tế là càng ít sự khác biệt về kích cỡ thì càng khó phân biệtIf Tom ____________ a bit more ambitious, he would have found himself a better job years ago.
