Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1Si bien + indicative = although: a formal way to concede a fact before the objection. Here si does not mean if. Concessive clauses: aunque, a pesar de (que), por más que →
- 2resuelve: resolver changes o → ue in stressed syllables (resuelvo, resuelve, but resolvemos). Present tense: stem-changing verbs (e → ie, o → ue, e → i, u → ue) →
- 3El problema de fondo = the underlying, real problem behind the symptoms.
