Correct Answer: Though somewhat
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
The original sentence contains a conjunction error. The conjunction but is not suitable for introducing a contrast or concession in this context. Though is a conjunction that indicates contrast or concession, aligning with the context of the sentence. It introduces the idea that the person is overambitious, but despite that, he is a hardworking employee.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: " Though somewhat overambitious, he is a hardworking employee."
