Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

They were trying to raise a baby ________ they were still fighting over their divorce. [Advanced]

A
while

B
when

C
but

D
for

Solution

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. When one of them depends on the other for its full meaning, that clause is the subordinate clause and the clause it depends on is the main clause. Here, we require a time-related conjunction as both clauses are in terms of the events (they were trying to raise a baby, they were still fighting over their divorce) occurring at a particular time. From the options, 'when' demonstrates an interruption, a very short lapse in time between the two activities, which is not the case here. 'While' is used when two activities are taking place simultaneously, and here that is exactly what is happening. Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
'But' is a coordinating conjunction used when both clauses are independent and do not depend on the other for their full meaning, and is used to express a contrast in meaning between these clauses. But here we don't need a coordinating conjunction, and the clauses are not contrast-related, hence option C is incorrect. 'For' is also a coordinating conjunction, used when one clause is inferred or deduced from another, and that isn't the case here, hence option D is incorrect.
Question 2

Choose the option that best fills in the blank:

Everyone quieted down ________ the baby was born. [Advanced]

A

B

D
for

Solution

A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. When one of them depends on the other for its full meaning, that clause is the subordinate clause and the clause it depends on is the main clause. Here, we require a time-related conjunction as both clauses are in terms of the events (everyone quieted down, the baby was born) occurring at a particular time. From the options, 'when' is the most suitable option, as it demonstrates an interruption, there's a very short lapse in time between the two events, they both don't occur at the same time, but the second activity interrupts the first, hence we use 'when' and not 'while'. 'While' is used when two activities are taking place simultaneously, but here they aren't. Hence option A is correct and B is incorrect.
'But' is a coordinating conjunction used when both clauses are independent and do not depend on the other for their full meaning, and is used to express a contrast in meaning between these clauses. But here we don't need a coordinating conjunction, and the clauses are not contrast-related, hence option C is incorrect. 'For' is also a coordinating conjunction, used when one clause is inferred or deduced from another, and that isn't the case here, hence option D is incorrect.

Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:

Colours such _____ red,blue and yellow are called primary colours.

A
that

B
as

C
if

D
or

Solution

The given sentence is about the different types of primary colours. To introduce the examples or the types of a particular banner, we pair 'as' with 'such' and create the idiom or phrase 'such as'. Red, Blue and Yellow are examples of primary colours. 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.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the option that best fills in the blank:

I have seen action movies such _______ Fight Club and Seven Samurai.

A
that

B
as

C
if

D
or

Solution

The given sentence is about a person's preferences. To introduce the examples or the types of a particular banner, we pair 'as' with 'such' and create the idiom or phrase 'such as'. Here Fight Club and Seven Samurai are examples of action movies. 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.

Fill in the blank with the best suitable option:

A
that

B
as

C
if

D
or

Solution

The given sentence is about the variety of trees. To introduce the examples or the types of a particular banner, we pair 'as' with 'such' and create the idiom or phrase 'such as'. Here, Pine and Eucalyptus are two types of trees. 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.

'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 B 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'.
