Conjunctions Test - 3

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.

'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.

'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.

'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.

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.

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.
