  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Combine the sentences correctly using 'so...that':
    The earrings were beautiful. I had to buy them. 
    Solution
    'So that' is used to talk about a purpose. In the given sentence, the purpose is buying the earrings. 'So' is followed by an adjective. Options B, C and D are grammatically wrong. Thus, option A is the correct answer. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Combine the sentences correctly using 'so...that':
    James is arrogant. He would never ask for help. 
    Solution
    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 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 sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, 'so' emphasizes the quality of being arrogant, which results in "he would never ask for help". This can be seen in option A, hence it's correct. 'So that' in option B refers to a purpose, the sentence changes the meaning to 'for the purpose of not asking for help, James is arrogant', which isn't true, hence option B is incorrect. The construction of 'So arrogant James is' is incorrect, as a sentence of this type cannot begin with 'so', hence C is incorrect. 'That' in D functions as a demonstrative adjective, referring to James, whereas 'so...that' is supposed to focus on the effect of being arrogant. the order has also changed, where 'that' precedes 'so', making option D incorrect for these reasons.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Combine the sentences correctly using 'so...that':
    It was cold. We couldn't play outdoors. 
    Solution
    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'. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, 'so' intensifies the adjective "cold" and 'that' refers to the result of being cold "we couldn't play outdoors", this can be seen in A, hence option A is correct. In options B and C, 'so that' refers to purpose, and changes the meaning of the sentence, in B it means 'it became cold to prevent the people from playing outdoors'. The sentence in C means 'not being able to play outdoors for the purpose to make it cold'. These sentences don't focus on the cause and result, like in the original pair of sentences, hence options B and C are incorrect. Similarly, the sentence in D has also changed in meaning, where 'that' modifies the clause containing 'so', "it was so cold", which isn't the correct order, 'that' should precede the result "we couldn't play outdoors", hence D is also incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Combine the sentences correctly using 'so ... that':
    It was bright. It hurt my eyes. 
    Solution
    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'. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, where 'so' refers to the adjective 'bright' and 'that' refers to the result of it being bright "it hurt my eyes", this can be seen in B, hence option B is correct. In option A, 'so that' focuses on purpose, and changes the meaning of the sentence to 'it was bright for the reason that it could hurt my eyes', which isn't what the original sentence means, hence A is incorrect. In option C, the order of 'so...that' has been altered, where 'that' refers to the adjective 'bright' and functions as a demonstrative, but in the construction 'so...that', it's supposed to refer to the result, hence option C is incorrect. In option D, 'so bright it was' is incorrect in terms of order, where the adjective 'bright' precedes the subject 'it'. Sentences with 'so...that' do not begin with 'so', hence option D is incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best fills the blank:
    No sooner did she read his letter ____ she fainted.
    Solution
    Correlative Conjunction is always used in pairs and denote equality, and show the relationship between ideas expressed in different parts of a sentence - and thus make the joining tighter and more emphatic. Some examples are either/or, neither/nor, and not only/but also. The structure no sooner is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. It is often used with the past perfect, and usually followed by than. In the given sentence it is inferred that she finished reading his letter and immediately fainted. These two activities take place almost simultaneously. There is no real time difference between them. Thus Option A is correct. We can use 'when' to introduce a single completed event that takes place in the middle of a longer activity or event. In these cases, we usually use a continuous verb in the main clause to describe the background event. Thus Option D is incorrect as it cannot be used along with 'no sooner'.Option B can be ruled out as the conjunction 'but' is used to suggest a contrast. After shows "subsequently to the time when".Thus Option C can be discarded as it is clearly mentioned  in the sentence that two activities take place almost simultaneously. 
  • Question 6

  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best fills the blank:
    No sooner did the child start crying ____ his father lifted him up.
    Solution
    Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together.
    The structure no sooner is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. When no sooner comes at the beginning of a sentence, we use inverted word order. That means the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. The conjunction 'No sooner ---- than' is also used to denote simultaneous actions. The given sentence depicts that as soon as the child started crying, his father lifted him up immediately. These two activities take place almost simultaneously. There is no real time difference between them. Thus Option D is correct.Option A can be ruled out as 'Then' indicates 'in that case'. We use 'then' with 'if' to talk about cause and effect but it cannot be used in association with 'no sooner' which is used in case of an event happening immediately after something else. 'After' shows "subsequently to the time when".Thus Option C can be discarded as it is clearly mentioned that two activities take place almost simultaneously.'Option B can be ruled out as the conjunction 'but' is used to suggest a contrast.
