There's a previous B2 lesson on Kwiziq that teaches that "que" is an acceptable way to express "because". So why is "con lo que" a better answer to the question: "Me sorprende que él haya cedido ________ ha defendido su postura siempre" than simply "que"?

"que" vs. "con lo que" to express "because"
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using con lo que + indicative for despite"

Hola Jonah
In Spanish we really mean "despite him having defended his position" but that doesn't quite click in English. We've modified it a bit and omitted the answer saying "que" to avoid confusion.
I hope it helps.
Saludos
