Answer:
B1. Though (or even though)
( though and although has the same meaning, although usually begins a sentence, while though can come at the beginning of any clause. Even though is almost identical in meaning with plain though or although; the main difference is that even though is more emphatic, putting stronger emphasis on the contrast between the two clauses it connects..)
B2. While
B3. In spite of
(In spite of and despite are prepositional expressions. They express a contrast between two things. They are both more common in writing than in speaking. Despite is a little more formal than in spite of.) See the meaning of although above.
B4. Wherever
B5. Differently
B6. Will write immediately
B7. Welcome it
B8. Freed
B9. Were complaining
B10. On bad terms
