Correct Answer: though


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: The sentence structure indicates a contrast or contradiction. The use of though in the blank creates a logical connection between the initial appearance and what is going to be described next.

So, the correct sentence would be: "At first, it looked as though Uncle Vernon would manage to gloss the whole thing over."
