Conjunction Test 1

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. 

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 combines or connects two sentences as one. They can either be a word or a phrase (like even if, as well as, etc). Correlative conjunctions are words in pairs that connect two sentences, but they're not written together, for example, either...or, but...and, such...that etc, where there's a word/s in between the pair. 'So that' and 'so...that' have different meanings. 'So that' refers to purpose, it expresses the reason for which an action is carried out, as in 'I left early so that I could attend the party'. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, where 'so' emphasizes a quality or condition, here it emphasizes "ill", and "that" brings out the result "doctors suspect he may not survive". This can be seen in option C, which is correct. In option A, 'so that' refers to purpose, it sounds as if the purpose for Mike being ill was that the doctors suspect he might not survive, which sounds illogical, hence option A is incorrect. In B, the sentence sounds a little off, because 'that' has been placed between the result, but the result should include the doctors' suspecting, 'that' should be placed right after "ill", as it refers to the effect that follows, hence option B is incorrect. In option D, the correlatives 'so...that' have been interchanged in order, 'that' has been used in place of 'so' and vice versa. The sentence does not have a proper meaning, 'that' in this sentence acts as a demonstrative, and the order isn't correct, hence option D is incorrect.

Correlative conjunctions are words in pairs that connect two sentences, but they're not written together, for example, either...or, but...and, such...that etc, where there's a word or phrase in between the pair. 'So that' and 'so...that' have different meanings. 'So that' refers to purpose, it expresses the reason for which an action is carried out, as in 'I left early so that I could attend the party'. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, his being tall prevented him from fitting in the car, the position of 'so...that' determines the meaning of the sentence. 'So' is placed before 'tall' to express the result "not fit in the car" of being "tall". The option with the correct sentence is Option B, as it has the required placement of 'so' and 'that'. They should not be placed together, as in options A and C, in A, the sentence expresses the purpose of being tall, so he does not fit in the car, but it's incorrect in terms of grammar as well as logic. In C, the sentence is grammatically incorrect, emphasizing on the action of his being "He is", hence these are both incorrect. Sentences that begin with 'so' refer to a cause and are usually a continuation of the previous sentence, as in 'She couldn't take the stress anymore. So, she left her job'. The sentence here does not focus on the cause, but the effect or result. Hence option D is incorrect.

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. They can be a word or a phrase (like even if, as well as, etc). Correlative conjunctions are words in pairs that connect two sentences, but they're not written together, for example, either...or, but...and, such...that etc, where a word or a phrase is in between the pair (either rice or noodles). 'So that' and 'so...that' have different meanings. 'So that' refers to purpose, it expresses the reason for which an action is carried out, as in 'I left early so that I could attend the party'. 'So...that' refers to a situation of cause and result. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, where 'so' functions as an intensifier for the adjective "short" and 'that' refers to the result of David being short "he can't reach the top of the shelf". This can be seen in Option A, hence it's correct. In option B, 'so that' has been used, it refers to purpose, and changes the meaning of the sentence to 'the purpose of David being short is that he cannot reach the top of the shelf'. It does not mean the same as the given sentences, hence option B is incorrect. In option C, the order of 'so...that' has been altered, where 'that' replaces 'so', it acts as a demonstrative of 'short', it does not refer to the result as it's supposed to. Instead, 'so' refers to the result by making it sound like a cause, 'so' on its own refers to a reason or cause, hence option C is incorrect. In option D, 'so that' refers to purpose and not result, it refers to "David is short" as the purpose. But, we don't need to use 'so that', but 'so...that', which are different in meaning. Hence option D is incorrect.

Correlative conjunctions are words in pairs that connect two sentences, but they're not written together, for example, either...or, but...and, such...that etc, where a word or a phrase is in between the pair (either rice or noodles). 'So that' and 'so...that' have different meanings. 'So that' refers to purpose, it expresses the reason for which an action is carried out, as in 'I left early so that I could attend the party'. The given sentences do not focus on purpose, but the result, 'so' intensifies the adjective "steep" and 'that' refers to the result of the hill being steep "we couldn't climb to the top". This can be seen in option C, hence it's correct. In option A, the error is in "So steep the hill was", sentences with 'so...that' do not begin with 'so', and the formation of this part is not right, hence A is incorrect. In B, the sentence contains 'so that', which refers to purpose, the meaning of the sentence changes to 'the hill became steep for the purpose that we could not climb it', which is not what the original sentences meant, hence option B is incorrect. In D, the order of 'so...that' has been altered, instead of referring to the result, 'that' demonstrates the cause and result as a whole. As the order of 'so...that' has been altered, option D is incorrect.

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences or words together. In the given sentence, the clause "he could practice for the audition" is the subordinate/dependent clause as it depends on the main/independent clause "He left the show" for its full meaning. A conjunction can be a word, or a phrase as the one here, "so...", we need to find the correct word from these options to complete the phrase. The subordinate clause is the purpose or reason behind which the action in the main clause "left the show" takes place. 'That' is a conjunction used in purpose related sentences, and when paired with 'so', it expresses purpose, hence option A is correct. 'Then' is an adverb that relates to time, meaning 'immediately', but we require a conjunction here, hence option B is incorrect. 'As' is a conjunction that refers to cause-related sentences. There is a minor difference between cause and purpose. Purpose is the reason for which something is done or created, whereas cause is the justification or explanation for an action carried out. This sentence is purpose-related, hence option C is incorrect. Similarly, 'because' is cause-related, hence option D is also incorrect.
