ACT QUESTION
This was an ACT question in my practice book.
Although the name- fanny pack- did not appeal to me as the product itself did. It was sleek, eye catching, and, best of all, appeared to be actually functional.
1.) A. NO CHANGE
B. myself, though
C. me,
D. me, like
The answer was c.) This question completely threw me off. First of all is that first sentence even a sentence? The punctuation after did is a period not a comma. I dont think this is a typo because it's an offical book. I chose a.)

It does seem like a strange exercise. " Technically, with "although," this is not a sentence. ") But people often use this technique in casual conversation to add a contrary view: I thought the play was great!

- (pause) Although the scenery seemed poorly chosen.
- (an afterthought) If you replace the underlined " to me " with "me," the sentence will be ungrammatical -- even for the purpose of casual conversation.

I am sorry. I just looked at the question again. It was
Although the name- ***** pack- did not appeal to me as the product itself did.
1.) A. NO CHANGE
B. myself, though
C. me,
D. me, like
Now the answer choice c makes sense.
