Even being twins, their thoughts did not match even in the slightest. Correct Answer Despite being twins

The sentence means to convey that even though the two people were twins, their thoughts did not match on anything. The given sentence is grammatically incorrect because the word 'even' should not be used in that manner. Option (1) is incorrect because the word 'besides' means 'in addition to, apart from' which is not the required meaning here. Option (3) is incorrect because 'although' means 'in spite of' which gives the correct meaning but the structure of the sentence should have been, 'Although they were twins, their thoughts did not match even in the slightest'.

Option (2) is correct because 'despite' means 'without being affected by, in spite of'. The correct sentence is, 'Despite being twins, their thoughts did not match even in the slightest'.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
