Ishaan Sharma answered |
Fit but Stick
Black and white, uncles and aunts, autumn and spring are all pairs that go together naturally. However, "fit but stick" does not make logical sense as a pair. This phrase seems to be a mismatch of two separate concepts, as "fit" typically refers to being physically healthy and in good shape, while "stick" can mean to adhere to something or be unable to move freely. Therefore, this pair does not belong together as it does not convey a cohesive or related idea.

Nisha Kumar answered |
Explanation:
In this sentence, the child is described as happy and then it is mentioned that he started jumping. We need a conjunction to connect these two ideas together.
The most appropriate conjunction in this case is 'so'.
Reasoning:
- The conjunction 'and' is used to connect two similar ideas or actions. In this sentence, the child being happy and jumping are two separate actions, so 'and' is not the correct conjunction in this case.
- The conjunction 'but' is used to show contrast or contradiction between two ideas or actions. In this sentence, there is no contrast or contradiction between the child being happy and jumping, so 'but' is not the correct conjunction in this case.
- The conjunction 'or' is used to give a choice between two options. In this sentence, there is no choice given between the child being happy and jumping, so 'or' is not the correct conjunction in this case.
- The conjunction 'so' is used to show cause and effect relationship between two ideas or actions. In this sentence, the child being happy is the cause and him jumping is the effect, so 'so' is the most appropriate conjunction in this case.
Example:
The child was happy, so he started jumping.

I missed my bus ________. I reached the bus stop late.
In this sentence, we are looking for a conjunction that connects the two clauses and shows a cause-and-effect relationship between them. Let's analyze the given options:
a) so: This conjunction is used to show a result or consequence. It wouldn't be appropriate in this context because it doesn't explain why the person missed the bus.
b) but: This conjunction is used to show a contrast between two ideas. It wouldn't be appropriate in this context because there is no contrasting relationship between missing the bus and reaching the bus stop late.
c) as: This conjunction is used to show a cause-and-effect relationship between two ideas. It is the most appropriate conjunction in this context because it explains why the person missed the bus (reaching the bus stop late).
d) though: This conjunction is used to introduce a subordinate clause that contrasts with the main clause. It wouldn't be appropriate in this context because there is no contrasting relationship between missing the bus and reaching the bus stop late.
Therefore, the most appropriate conjunction in this context is "as" (option C), as it shows the cause-and-effect relationship between missing the bus and reaching the bus stop late.

Explanation:
Introduction:
In this question, we are given two sentences: "We won the match" and "We played well." We need to choose the correct option that joins these two sentences using a suitable conjunction.
Options Analysis:
Let's analyze each option to determine the correct answer.
a) We won the match because we played well:
This option uses the conjunction "because" to show the cause and effect relationship between winning the match and playing well. It correctly joins the two sentences and implies that the reason for winning the match was playing well. Therefore, option 'A' is the correct answer.
b) We won the match if we played well:
This option uses the conjunction "if," which suggests a conditional statement. However, it does not accurately represent the cause and effect relationship between the two sentences. The sentence implies that winning the match is conditional upon playing well, which may not necessarily be true. Therefore, option 'B' is incorrect.
c) We won the match but we played well:
This option uses the conjunction "but," which indicates a contrast or contradiction between two ideas. However, the two sentences do not present contrasting ideas, as winning the match is directly related to playing well. Therefore, option 'C' is incorrect.
d) We won the match so we played well:
This option uses the conjunction "so," which implies a logical consequence. However, it does not accurately represent the cause and effect relationship between the two sentences. It suggests that winning the match was a result of playing well, whereas the correct relationship is that playing well led to winning the match. Therefore, option 'D' is incorrect.
Conclusion:
Among the given options, option 'A' is the correct choice as it accurately represents the cause and effect relationship between winning the match and playing well.

Explanation:
The word "not" is not a conjunction.
Conjunctions:
Conjunctions are words that connect words, phrases, or clauses within a sentence. They are used to show relationships between the connected elements.
Some common conjunctions include:
- and: connects two or more similar ideas or items
- but: connects two contrasting ideas or items
- or: presents a choice between two or more options
- so: shows cause and effect or a result
The word "that":
The word "that" can be used as a conjunction, but it can also function as a pronoun, adjective, or adverb. As a conjunction, "that" is used to introduce a subordinate clause that provides additional information or clarification.
Example: I believe that he is telling the truth. (Conjunction: introduces the subordinate clause "he is telling the truth")
The word "them":
The word "them" is a pronoun, specifically an object pronoun. It is used to refer to a group of people or things that have already been mentioned or are known.
Example: I gave them the books. (Pronoun: refers to a group of people who received the books)
The word "then":
The word "then" is an adverb that is used to indicate a sequence of events or a point in time. It does not function as a conjunction.
Example: I will finish my work, and then I will go to the store. (Adverb: indicates the sequence of events)
The word "not":
The word "not" is an adverb that is used to form a negative statement or negate the meaning of a verb, adjective, or adverb. It does not function as a conjunction.
Example: I am not going to the party. (Adverb: negates the action of going)
Therefore, the word "them" is not a conjunction.
The word "not" is not a conjunction.

Understanding the Sentences
The two sentences provided are:
1. He is a great singer.
2. He has won many prizes.
These sentences convey two positive attributes about the same subject, which is "he."
Choosing the Right Conjunction
To join these sentences effectively, we need a conjunction that reflects a relationship between the two ideas. Let's analyze the options:
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'B' because it effectively combines both sentences, emphasizing that being a great singer and winning many prizes are complementary qualities. The conjunction "and" suggests a strong connection, indicating that both statements enhance the understanding of the subject's talent.

Choosing the Right Conjunction
To join these sentences effectively, we need a conjunction that reflects a relationship between the two ideas. Let's analyze the options:
- Option a: "He is a great singer but has won many prizes."
- The word "but" suggests a contrast, which is not appropriate here since both statements are positive. - Option b: "He is a great singer and has won many prizes."
- The word "and" correctly indicates that both statements are true and adds information about his achievements. - Option c: "He is a great singer though has won many prizes."
- The word "though" implies a contradiction, which does not fit since winning prizes supports the idea of being a great singer. - Option d: "He is a great singer because he has won many prizes."
- This option suggests causation, implying that winning prizes is the reason for being a great singer, which is not necessarily accurate.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'B' because it effectively combines both sentences, emphasizing that being a great singer and winning many prizes are complementary qualities. The conjunction "and" suggests a strong connection, indicating that both statements enhance the understanding of the subject's talent.

Understanding the Correct Conjunction
In the given sentences, we have two statements that highlight a contrast in expectations.
Sentence Breakdown:
- First Sentence: "I worked hard."
- Second Sentence: "I didn’t pass the exam."
Analyzing the Options:
- Option a: "I worked hard so I didn’t pass the exam."
- This implies that working hard led to not passing, which is illogical.
- Option b: "I worked hard and I didn’t pass the exam."
- This suggests a simple addition of facts but does not reflect the contrast between effort and outcome.
- Option c: "I worked hard or I didn’t pass the exam."
- This implies a choice or alternative, which is not relevant here.
- Option d: "I worked hard but I didn’t pass the exam."
- The word "but" introduces a contrast, indicating that despite the effort put into studying, the expected result (passing the exam) did not occur. This captures the essence of disappointment or surprise, making it the most suitable option.
Conclusion:
The correct option, D, effectively conveys the unexpected outcome of hard work. It emphasizes the contradiction between the effort and the result, making it the best choice to connect the two sentences meaningfully.

Baishali Yadav answered |
Explanation:
The correct option for blank (19) is if.
Reasoning:
The conjunction "if" is used to express a condition or possibility. In this context, the sentence states that the rabbit can hop as fast as 29 kilometers an hour if it is in danger. This implies that the rabbit's speed is dependent on whether it is in danger or not.
Example:
- The rabbit can hop as fast as 29 kilometers an hour if it is being chased by a predator.
- The rabbit can hop as fast as 29 kilometers an hour if it senses danger nearby.
Using the conjunction "if" in this context emphasizes the conditional nature of the rabbit's speed and highlights the connection between its speed and potential danger.
Alternative options:
- The conjunction "and" (option a) would not be suitable in this context as it does not convey the conditional relationship between the rabbit's speed and danger.
- The conjunction "or" (option b) would not be appropriate as it does not provide a logical connection between the two parts of the sentence.
- The conjunction "but" (option d) would not be suitable as it does not convey the conditional relationship between the rabbit's speed and danger. It would imply a contradiction or contrast between the two parts of the sentence, which is not the intended meaning.
