Conjunction Test 7

Conjunctions are the words used to connect clauses or sentences. Hence, the correct answer is B) And.

A conjunction is a word that is used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g. and, but, if ). Hence option D, 'but', is the correct answer as it coordinates the words strict and kind.

The correct answer is Option C.

The clauses "It must have rained last night" and "the ground is wet" are independent as they are complete in meaning without having to depend on the other. The word 'for' combines these clauses together, it's seen that it performs the functions of an Illative conjunction. An Illative conjunction is that by which one statement or fact is provided or inferred from another. Here, the sentence "the ground is wet" is the fact that is the inference or conclusion of the event "rained last night". Hence 'for' is a conjunction and option D is correct. 'Last' is an adjective that modifies the noun "night" and means "the previous night" or "the night before". As it does not combine the independent clauses, it's not a conjunction and option A is incorrect. 'Wet' is an adjective as it modifies the noun 'ground' and means 'moistened, or soaked with water'. It does not connect the sentences hence it's not a conjunction and option B is incorrect. 'Must' is a modal auxiliary that determines the mood of the sentence, in the context of this sentence it means 'it should have', it does not connect the sentences so it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect.

Option A is the correct answer because we use 'till' as a subordinating conjunction to connect an action or an event to a point in time. In the given sentence the little boy waited to that point in time when his parents returned and connects the clauses 'the little boy waited up all night' and 'his parents returned'.

A conjunction's main function is to join or connect two clauses/sentences as one. In the given sentence, the clauses can be identified as "My hair was longer" and "I was younger", where the latter is the subordinate clause, as it depends on the main clause, the former, for its full meaning. The word that isn't a part of any of these clauses is 'when', hence it's determined that 'when' is a conjunction, it has no other role to play other than connecting the two and it's used for time-related sentences "was longer...I was younger" refers to the past. Hence, option C is correct. 'Hair' is a noun, it refers to the strands that grow on one's skin, particularly head, and does not join the clauses, it's a part of the main clause. Since it's a noun, option A is incorrect. "Longer" is an adjective that refers to the length of hair now, in comparison to the length of hair when she "was younger". It's not a conjunction, hence option B is incorrect. 'My' is a possessive adjective that modifies the noun 'hair', expressing possession of the girl's hair. It's not a conjunction, hence D is incorrect.

A conjunction is a word that is used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g. and, but, if ).

'Like' is used to show a resemblance between two things or to express a preference. In the given sentence, her resemblance is shown as a godmother. 'With' is defined as accompanied by. 'Whether' is used to introduce an alternative. 'Such as' is used to provide specific examples of something you are talking about. 

The main function of a conjunction is to combine or link two clauses/sentences as one. In the given sentence, the clauses are identified as "His dish was the best" and "he cooked the slowest", because they're grammatically complete. The latter is the subordinate/dependent clause as it depends on the former for its full meaning. The word that's left behind is "though" as it performs the sole function of connecting these clauses, and is used for contrast-related sentences, where the meaning of the subordinate clause is the opposite of the main clause. 'Though' forms a relation between the clauses by referring to their contrast meaning. It's a conjunction, hence option B is correct. 'He' is a third person singular pronoun and refers to the person being spoken about. Pronouns modify nouns that have been identified with or mentioned before, thus eliminating the repetition of the noun. It does not connect the clauses, hence option A is incorrect. 'Cooked' is a verb of the past tense, that refers to the act of preparing a meal. It does not connect the clauses, hence option C is incorrect. 'Best' is an adjective that refers to something of the highest quality or degree. Here it modifies the noun 'dish' by expressing it as a dish of the highest quality of being 'good'. It does not link the sentences, hence it's not a conjunction and option D is incorrect.
