Question 1
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
________ the children look like their mother.

A
Either

B
Both

C
Neither

D
Also

Solution

Option A and C is incorrect because of the wrong usage of Either and Neither .as both are followed by singular noun-verb combination. Option D is incorrect as we use also to emphasize what follows it or to add in addition to a new point. Hence Option B is the correct choice.
Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.
These plants usually flower in spring, _________ won't if there is frost.

A
but

B
however

C
nevertheless

D
otherwise

Solution

A conjunction is a part of speech used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. 'But' is coordinating conjunction used to suggest a contrast. The given sentence shows the contrast of the flowering in plants thus option A is the correct answer. 'However' is used when you are saying something that seems surprising after your previous statement. 'Nevertheless' is used to signify 'in spite of'. 'Otherwise' is used to describe cause and effect situations.
Question 3
1 / -0

Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:

They had little money, but they were very content.

A
very

B
but

C
they

D
little

Solution

In the given statement, 'but' is the conjunction, more specifically it's a coordinating conjunction of the adversative/contrasting type. 'But' combines the independent sentences "They had little money" and "they were very content" that are contrast in meaning. "little money" does not imply "very content", as we know most of us aren't content with little money. Hence, option B is correct. 'Very' is an adverb that modifies an adjective, verb or an adverb to emphasize its meaning, here it modifies the adjective 'content'. It does not combine the clauses, hence option A is incorrect, it's not a conjunction. 'They' is a pronoun, a pronoun replaces a noun that's been mentioned before, and 'they' here refers to a group of people. As it does not combine the clauses, it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect. 'Little' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'money', it's not a conjunction as it doesn't perform the function of combining clauses. Hence, option D is incorrect.

A
And

End

C
Or

D
That

Solution

A cumulative conjunction adds one statement to another. These link equal parts of a sentence together. In the given sentence, 'and' would be the cumulative conjunction through which two equal parts of the sentence will be correctly joined. 'And' should be used as two equal sentences are joined. Options B, C and D are incorrect since none of them are cumulative conjunctions. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Fill in blank [1] with a suitable conjunction:

A
yet

B
also

C
but

D
till

Solution

The sentence in question, "I wrote a letter to you last week ____[1]_____ without any response from your side." has two contrasting ideas 'I wrote a letter' 'you didn't respond back'. So, the conjunction must be an adversative one, i.e. a contrasting one.
Options A and C: 'Yet' and 'but' are both adversative. They refer to contrasting ideas and are often interchangeable, depending on the context of the sentence.
But, they cannot be used interchangeably over here.
(Compare: Yet, they cannot be used interchangeably here.)
'Yet' means 'in spite of the fact that', whereas 'but' refers to 'something that is different from what you said before'. The latter meaning is more suitable here.
So, in this sentence, 'but' is more suitable than 'yet'.
Hence option C is correct and A is incorrect.
Option B: 'Also' refers to an addition; it connects two ideas that are merely added, they do not affect each other.
Option D: 'Till' relates to time: 'till she comes home'
It does not relate to the sentence, hence B and D are incorrect.

Complete the given letter with the suitable conjunction for blank [4].

A
because

B
also

C
hence

D
but

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'Hence' is an adverb, not conjunction. It replaces phrases such as 'which leads to' or 'which is the reason of'. Hence is always separated by a comma in the sentence.
'But' is used to show contrast. 'Because' is used to give a reason for something. 'Also' is used to define as in addition.
Thus, option C is the correct answer according to the rule.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Heera ______ his parents are well-educated.

A
or

B
but

C
as well as

D
nor

Solution

Conjunctions are the words used to link other words, phrases or clauses. 'But' is used to contrast things. 'Or' is used to provide choices in the sentence. 'Nor' is used with neither to describe negative choices in the sentences. 'As well as' means 'in addition to'. In the given sentence, 'as well as' should be used to mention information about Heera's parents along with Heera.
Thus, option C is the correct answer.
