Conjunction Test 10

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. They can be a word or a phrase (like even if, as well as, etc). In the given sentence 'lest' is a subordinating conjunction, we need to find the suitable verb that complies with it. 'Lest' refers to a purpose or reason, it means 'to avoid the risk of something', here it expresses the purpose 'to avoid the rain from coming in'. 'Lest' is always followed by the verb 'should' when they work as a pair, hence option A is correct. 'Can' refers to an ability, but here the event 'rain...come in' is a possibility, hence option B is incorrect. 'Will' refers to a future event that's definite to take place, whereas the given sentence does not express a future event, but a possibility, hence option C is incorrect. 'May' refers to something that is optional, it may or may take place or be chosen, but 'lest' is only followed by 'should', this construction cannot be altered, hence option D is incorrect.

The given sentence is about a person who loves hobbies, "painting and dancing" are those hobbies, these are example, hence a phrase is required that introduces these examples. From the options, 'as' is most suitable, when it's paired with "such", the combined meaning of 'such as' is to introduce one or more examples of something we've mentioned, here it introduces the hobbies, painting and dancing. Hence option B is correct. 'That' when paired with 'such' refers to an extent of something as in 'It was such an interesting story that I finished reading it in one sitting'. It does not refer to an example, hence option A is incorrect. 'If' refers to a condition, a hypothetical situation that may or may not be true as in 'I'll go if you come with me'. There isn't any hypothetical situation here, and 'if' doesn't pair up with 'such' as they have different meanings, hence option C is incorrect. 'Or' is used to present a choice between two things 'this or that', there isn't a choice between the hobbies in this sentence, hence it can't be paired with 'such' and option D is incorrect.

'No other than' is used to single out a thing, or person, here it means 'nothing else', and refers to the reason "to see that you are well", apart from which there was no other reason for the speaker to visit. Hence from the options, 'than' follows 'no other' as the phrase 'no other than' has a combined meaning of emphasis over something, which cannot be replaced by any other words. Hence option C is correct. 'But' as a preposition, refers to an exception, it usually pairs up with 'none', referring to a person. It does not pair up with 'no other', hence option A is incorrect. 'As' as an adverb is used to refer to an extent of something, as a conjunction it refers to manner or cause, none of these relate to the given sentence. 'As' does not combine with 'no other' to place the required emphasis on the reason, hence option B is incorrect. 'Whether' expresses a choice or a doubt between two things, there is no choice in the given sentence hence option D is incorrect.

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. In the given sentence, a subordinating conjunction is required. The clause "she could leave early" is the subordinate/dependent clause because it depends on the main/independent clause "She ate quickly" for its full meaning, so for such a sentence, a subordinating conjunction is used. It can be a single word or a phrase, like in the sentence 'so...'. The dependent clause here is the purpose behind which the action in the first clause "ate quickly" takes place. We need to choose which of the options can pair up with 'so'. 'That' when paired up with 'so', and even on its own, expresses purpose, it's the most suitable option, hence option B is correct. 'Than' is used to express a comparison between two individuals, or things, but here there is no comparison, so option A is incorrect. 'But' is a coordinating conjunction, used when both clauses are independent. It expresses contrast between those clauses whereas the given statement does not express a contrast, hence option C is incorrect. 'Even' is usually paired with 'if' and expresses contrast, and not purpose. It cannot pair up with 'so' as they have different meanings, hence option D is also incorrect.

If the second event occurs immediately after the first, no sooner...than is used to express such situations. In such a structure, no sooner introduces the event that occurred first. No sooner is followed with the past tense. Options B and C are wrong since 'then' is used instead of 'than'. Thus, option D is correct as no sooner is followed by 'was'. 

If the second event occurs immediately after the first, no sooner...than is used to express such situations. In such a structure, no sooner introduces the event that occurred first. No sooner is followed with the past tense. Option C is correct as no sooner is followed by past form 'had'. Options D is grammatically wrong as 'then' is used with no sooner. Option B is wrong as 'but' cannot be used with no sooner. 

If the second event occurs immediately after the first, no sooner...than is used to express such situations. In such a structure, no sooner introduces the event that occurred first. No sooner is followed with the past tense 'had'. Options B is wrong since 'then' is used instead of 'than'. Thus, option C is correct as no sooner is followed by 'had'. 'But' cannot be used with no sooner thus option D is wrong.
