(2) _______

A
But

B
So

C
And

D
What

Solution

Conjunctions are the words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'And' is used to link two equal parts of the sentence.
Here, two equal parts are - 'should live together' and 'help one another'. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
Option 'A' 'But' is used to show contrast. Hence it does not fit in the given sentence
Option 'B' 'So' is used to provide a reason for something. Hence it is incorrect for the given sentence.
Option 'D' 'What' is used for asking a question. Hence it is inappropriate for the given sentence.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable conjunction:
Rahul plays cricket, ________ his brother plays tennis.

A
and

B
but

C
or

D
as

Solution

Option A - 'And' is used to combine two related clauses of equal grammatical rank in one sentence. For example, 'I like strawberries and blueberries.' As the given sentence has two different clauses, we can't use 'and' here. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option C - 'Or' is used to connect different possibilities or options in a sentence. For example, 'I want to go the market or the museum.' The given sentence is about completely different scenarios, hence we can't use 'or' here. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'As' is used to explain reasons in a sentence. For example. 'I can't go to school as I am sick today.' As the given sentence doesn't explain any reason, we can't use 'as' here. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option B - 'But' is used to add a sentence to a sentence, which is usually different than the first clause. In short, it is used to explain contrasting ideas in one sentence. For example, 'I was going to go to school, but I went for a movie.' The given sentence explains how the brothers play different sports. Thus option B is the correct answer.
'Rahul plays cricket, but his brother plays tennis.'
Question 3
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
_______ I know, Arjun is true to his words.

A
So that

B
That

C
As far as

D
So as

Solution

Conjunctions are words used to link other words, phrase or clauses. 'As far as' means 'to the degree or extent that'. It is subordinating conjunction thus it always joins a dependent clause to an independent clause. Here, 'Arjun is true to his words' is an independent clause. 'So that' is used to define a purpose of something. 'That' is used as a preposition. 'So as' is used to provide a reason for something.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rule.
Question 4
1 / -0

Directions For Questions

...view full instructions

The most appropriate form of Conjunction against number 2 ______

A
So

B
But

C
Or

D
To

Solution

Conjunctions are the words used to link other words, phrases or clauses.
'So' is used to show the reason for something or the purpose of something. Here, the purpose is to open the door thus Manoj stood-up. Thus, option A is the correct answer. 'But' is used to contrast things. 'Or' is used to provide choices in the sentence. 'To' is not a conjunction.
Question 5
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
Sonali prepares delicious food __________ she does not garnish it well.

A
And

B
But

C
But also

D
Also

Solution

Delicious food is liked by all. 'Garnished' is an adjective used to describe food which is decorated and presented well. Food, which is garnished well, is visually appealing and hence liked by all. The given sentence states that 'Sonali prepares delicious food'. However, the food is not presented well. Hence, two contradicting or opposing things about the food prepared by Sonali are described in the given sentence. The conjunction, 'but' is used to introduce a phrase or clause which contrasts something which has already been mentioned. Hence, option B is the most appropriate conjunction to be used.

Options A and D: The conjunctions, 'and' and 'also' indicates addition. They are used to connect two statements or clauses, which are similar. They cannot be used to connect two clauses which contradict or contrast each other. Hence, options A and D are incorrect.
Option C: 'But also' is a conjunction, which is used along with the conjunction, 'not only. 'Not only' and 'but also' are always used together and are called correlative conjunctions. They connect two statements which belong to the same part of speech. As the conjunction, 'not only' is not used in the sentence, the conjunction, 'but also' cannot be used. Hence, option C is incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
The book was ________ boring ________ I only could read two chapters.

A
Such / that

B
So / that

C
Very / that

D
Too / that

Solution

'So that' is used to talk about a purpose. In the given sentence, the purpose is to read two chapters. 'So that' is used to explain the purpose. Options A, B and D are grammatically wrong. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
___________ you practise hard, you can't win the boxing title.

A
Until

B
Till

C
Unless

D
If

Solution

The word, 'unless' means 'except if'. When used in the given blank, it means 'Except if you practice hard, you cannot win the boxing title'. In other words, 'Practicing hard is the only way you can win the boxing title'. As this word meaningfully completes the given sentence, option C is correct.
The word, 'until' means 'up to (the point in time or the event mentioned)'. The word, 'till' means the same as 'until'. When used in the given blank, these words mean: 'Up to the point of time that you practice hard, you cannot win the boxing title'. This sentence does not convey any meaning. Hence, options A and B are incorrect
The word, 'If' means 'in the event that'. It is used to say that a particular thing can or will happen only in the event that something else happens (or becomes true). In other words, it introduces a conditional clause. When used in the given blank, the sentence means 'You cannot win the boxing title in the event that you practice hard'. This sentence conveys a wrong meaning. Hence, option D is correct.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
Raju relishes not only chinese ___________ continental food.

A
Also

B
But

C
But also

D
Rather

Solution

In the given sentence, the word, 'chinese' refers to 'chinese food'. The sentence means: 'Raju enjoys both chinese food and continental food'.
The conjunctions, 'Not only' and 'but also' are always used together and are called correlative conjunctions. They connect two statements which belong to the same part of speech. These conjunctions are normally used when the second statement is a surprise in the backdrop of the first sentence.
In the given sentence, the conjunction, 'not only' is followed by the word, 'chinese'. The conjunction, 'but also' is followed by 'continental food'. Both 'chinese food' and 'continental food' refer to two types of food (i.e same part of speech). Someone who enjoys chinese food may not normally relish continental food. However, Raju relishes both. As the second element (Raju relishes continental food) is a surprise in the backdrop of the first (Raju relished chinese food), option C is correct.
Option A: The conjunction 'also' indicates addition. It is used to connect two statements or clauses, which are similar. It cannot be used in a sentence, which has the conjunction, 'not only'. Hence, option A is incorrect.
Option B: The conjunction 'but' is used to introduce a phrase or clause which contrasts something which has already been mentioned. When a sentence uses the conjunction 'not only, 'the correlative conjunction, 'but alo' has to be used. The word, 'but' alone cannot be used. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: The word, 'rather' is an adverb and not a conjunction. It is used to indicate one's preference in a particular matter. Eg: I rather doubt I will be able to attend the function. As it is not a conjunction and given its meaning, it cannot be used in the given sentence. Hence, option D is incorrect.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Hardly had the child seen the mother __________ he came running towards her.

A
Then

B
Than

C
When

D
As

Solution

In the given sentence, there are two actions: (1) The child saw the mother; and (2) He came running towards her. One action happened almost immediately after the other.
The words, 'hardly' and 'when' are called correlative conjunctions. The word, 'hardly' means, 'only just'. These two words are always used together in a sentence. If there are two activities or events and the second event occurs immediately after the first, we can express the same using the conjunction, 'Hardly... then'. The phrase, 'Hardly' introduces the first event. We can note that the word, 'hardly' is used in the first part of the given sentence. Given this and the usage of these correlative conjunctions as given above, the appropriate conjunction is, 'when'. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Option A: When the word, 'then' is used alone in a sentence (i.e. without the word, 'If), it acts an adverb of time and means 'at that time'. In the given sentence, the word 'if' is not used. Hence, the word 'then' cannot act as a conjunction in the given sentence and option A is incorrect.
Option B: The word 'than' is a conjunction which is used to compare two elements in a sentence. Eg: I liked the movie more than I expected. In the given sentence, there is no comparison of two events or actions or elements. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option D: The conjunction 'as' is used to indicate that something happens during the time when something else is taking place. However, it cannot be used along with the word 'hardly' in a sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
I don't know whether he appeared for the test ___________ not.

A
Or

B
Nor

C
That

D
And

Solution

In the given sentence, there are two alternate possibilities i.e. 'he appeared for the test' and 'he did not appear for the test'. One of these two possibilities happened. Both did not happen together. The speaker is doubtful about which alternative happened. The conjunction, 'whether' is used when expressing a doubt or choice between alternatives. The word, 'or' is used to link two alternatives. Given this context, the word, 'or' is most appropriate to be used in the given blank. Hence, option A is correct.

The conjunction 'nor' is used before the second alternative (the first being introduced by a negative such as ‘neither’ or ‘not’) to indicate that they are each untrue or each did not happen. It cannot be used when either of the two alternatives happened. Hence, option B is incorrect.
The conjunction 'that' introduces a subordinate clause expressing a statement or hypothesis.Eg: 'I didn't know that he was unable to appear for the test'. The word, 'nor' is not used as a choice between two alternatives. Hence, option C is incorrect.
The conjunction 'and' is used to connect words of the same part of speech, clauses, or sentences, that are to be taken jointly. Eg: 'He appeared for the test and wrote it'. It cannot be used when there are two alternatives. Hence, option D is incorrect.
