Explanation:

Conjunctions are connectors that join or link two phrases or clauses or sentences. Examples of conjunctions are and, so, if, but etc. In the above sentences, the conjunctions used are lest, though, rather and so. All these create a sense of condition or a doubt.  

Lest implies a sense of avoidance. Though shows that even if something is happening the desired result is not achieved. Rather shows choice between options. So implies a requirement of something for another thing to happen.
