Conjunction Test 2

A conjunction is a word that is used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g. and, but, if ).

In the given statement, 'but' is the conjunction, more specifically it's a coordinating conjunction of the adversative/contrasting type. 'But' combines the independent sentences "They had little money" and "they were very content" that are contrast in meaning. "little money" does not imply "very content", as we know most of us aren't content with little money. Hence, option B is correct. 'Very' is an adverb that modifies an adjective, verb or an adverb to emphasize its meaning, here it modifies the adjective 'content'. It does not combine the clauses, hence option A is incorrect, it's not a conjunction. 'They' is a pronoun, a pronoun replaces a noun that's been mentioned before, and 'they' here refers to a group of people. As it does not combine the clauses, it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect. 'Little' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'money', it's not a conjunction as it doesn't perform the function of combining clauses. Hence, option D is incorrect.

Option A is correct because because meaning of meticulousness means precise, brief which is synonym of precision.

'Such as' is used to provide specific examples of something you are talking about. Here in the sentence, New York or London are the specific examples. 'Such' is followed by 'as' in the sentence when specific examples are given. Thus, according to the rules of usage, option C is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect. 

Option A and C is incorrect because of the wrong usage of Either and Neither .as both are followed by singular noun-verb combination. Option D is incorrect as we use also to emphasize what follows it or to add in addition to a new point. Hence Option B is the correct choice.

Arvind says he does not like the trainer but he likes the decor.
There is a contrast in opinions as he likes one thing and doesn't like another. When we have to show such contrast, we usually use the conjunction 'but'. 

A conjunction is a part of speech used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. 'But' is coordinating conjunction used to suggest a contrast. The given sentence shows the contrast of the flowering in plants thus option A is the correct answer. 'However' is used when you are saying something that seems surprising after your previous statement. 'Nevertheless' is used to signify 'in spite of'. 'Otherwise' is used to describe cause and effect situations.

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together.  'Since' is used to show one of the two associations: time or cause/reason. In the given sentence, a reason is described to have ice cream. 'And' is used to link equal parts of the sentence. 'Still' is used to denote that an action or situation continues to the present because it has not finished. 'Till' is used to denote a particular time which is less formal and is used mainly in speech and informal writing. 

Option A: 'While' means 'at the same time when', or 'the time during which'. It completes the sentence grammatically, but the meaning thus formed is vague and unusual. (travelling by air while the weather is bad is one of the worst experiences; it can be fatal in extreme cases)
Options B and D: Similarly, the sentences formed with 'because' and 'when' are vague and strange in meaning. 'Because' means 'for the reason that'.
'When' is similar to 'while', it refers to the time as well.
Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
Option C: 'Unless' means 'except if', it refers to condition.
It is used to describe 'the only situation in which something isn't true'.
It completes the sentence in grammar and meaning both: I like travelling by air, except if the weather is bad. If the weather is bad, then I do not like to travel by air.
Hence option C is correct.
