      Solution

      The conjunction ALTHOUGH is used to join two contradictory parts or clauses of a sentence. (1) is correct because two contradictory clauses are joined the first part talks about someone who is far away and the second part tells that she could still see that someone was watching her. "Although she was far away, she could see that she was watching her." (2) is correct because two contradictory clauses are joined-the first part talks about arguments which are rational and the second part tells us that Ram was not convinced by the arguments. "Although the arguments were rational, Ram was not convinced." (3) is incorrect as the two sentences have a cause-effect relationship. The second gives the cause for the first.
