Complete the given letter with the suitable conjunction for blank [3].

A
either

B
because

C
therefore

D
unless

Solution

Either and or are correlative coordinators which mean they coordinate parts of a sentence. When either is used, it means that the first choice is offered. When 'or' is added means another choice is made. In the given sentence, choices are made of either being ill or being busy with studies. Hence it fits in the given sentence
Option 'B' 'Because' is used to provide the reason for something. Hence it does not fit in the given sentence.
Option 'C' 'Therefore' is an adverb that shows cause and effect between independent clauses. Hence it does not fit in the given sentence.
Option 'D' 'Unless' is used to mean 'if not'.Hence it does not fit in the given sentence.
Thus, the option 'A' is the correct answer.

1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:
The bird picked up bread _________ it wanted to feed its little ones.

A
so

B
and

C
because

D
but

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'And' is used to link two equal parts of the sentence. 'But' is used to show contrast. Here, the reason is provided for picking up the bread by bird. 'So' provides the purpose of something. 'Because' is used for giving reasons. Thus, option C is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:
The hurt bird could hop _________ it could not fly.

A
but

B
because

C
so

D
and

Solution

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'And' is used to link two equal parts of the sentence. 'But' is used to show contrast. Here, contrast is described as the hurt bird could hop but because of injury, it cannot fly. 'So' provides the purpose of something. 'Because' is used for giving reasons. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
Question 7
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable conjunction:
It's __________ four o'clock$$!$$ We will not be late for the flight to Goa.

A
Already

B
Than

C
Only

D
Which

Solution

The correct answer to this question is Option C. Here, 'only' is used to mean that it's just four o'clock and that they would not be late for their flight. Hence, 'only' successfully plays the role of a conjunction by helping to build a meaningful relationship between both the sentences.
Option A is incorrect as 'already' is used to refer to an event that has or hasn't happened before another event in the past or present. Since the sentence is talking about an event that has yet to happen, using this option would change the meaning of the first sentence and thus would not render any logical connection with the second sentence.
Options B and D are incorrect because 'than' is used as a comparative. An example would be, 'he is taller than me.' 'Which' is used to ask questions and also in relative clauses to refer to animals or things. Using either of these options in the sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
Question 8
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I like living here ___________ it's near the shops.

A
Because

B
So

C
And

D
But

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason. The reason the speaker lives there is the nearness to the shops.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
SO is used when a reason is expressed first - for e.g. This place is near the shops SO I like living here.
AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.
BUT is used to express contrast.
Question 9
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Krish was absent from the office; ________, he was dismissed.

A
since

B
for

C
however

D
therefore

Solution

In the sentence, one clause or idea, "he was dismissed" is the consequence of another "Krish was absent from the office".
Option D: 'Therefore' is a conjunction used in inference-based sentences, or to indicate the consequence of an action. The word itself means 'for that reason, consequently'. Hence this is the most suitable option.
Option A: 'Since' refers to reason or cause. It does not refer to the consequence, but to the reason behind doing something. The meaning isn't relevant here.
Option B: 'For' is also used in inference-based sentences, but its meaning is different from 'therefore'.
'For' means 'reason': There must be someone outside for I heard a knock on the door. This word does not relate here as the latter clause is not a reason, but a result.
Option C: 'However' means 'in spite of the fact that' or 'even though'. This word does not relate here. ('However' means that 'regardless of what happened, something else will happen'.)
Hence options A, B and C are incorrect.
Question 10
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We both like sailing, ________ we live near the sea.

A
And as

B
Because

C
So

D
But

Solution

The correct answer is Option C.
SO is used when a reason is expressed first.
The reason they live near the sea is that they like sailing.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason.
AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.
BUT is used to express contrast.
