Choose the option that best fills in the blank:
Arshad was busy listening to music _________ his father was scolding him.
  • a)
    when
  • b)
    while
  • c)
    but
  • d)
    for
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
A conjunction combines or connects two sentences as one. When one of them depends on the other for its full meaning, that clause is the subordinate clause and the clause it depends on is the main clause. Here, we require a time-related conjunction as both clauses are in terms of the events (Arshad was busy listening to music, his father scolding him) occurring at a particular time. From the options, 'when' demonstrates an interruption, a very short lapse in time between the two activities, which is not the case here. 'While' is used when two activities are taking place simultaneously, and here that is exactly what is happening. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
 'But' is a coordinating conjunction used when both clauses are independent and do not depend on the other for their full meaning, and is used to express a contrast in meaning between these clauses. But here we don't need a coordinating conjunction, and the clauses are not contrast-related, hence option C is incorrect. 'For' is also a coordinating conjunction, used when one clause is inferred or deduced from another, and that isn't the case here, hence option D is incorrect.

Which conjunction is used to express a condition that must be met?
  • a)
    And
  • b)
    But
  • c)
    Or
  • d)
    Unless
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sakshi Bose answered
Explanation:

Conjunction for expressing a condition:
- The conjunction "unless" is used to express a condition that must be met in order for something else to happen.
- It introduces a condition which must be fulfilled for the main clause to take place.

Example:
- "You cannot watch TV unless you finish your homework."
- In this sentence, the condition is finishing homework, which must be met in order to watch TV.

Usage in conditional statements:
- "Unless" is commonly used in conditional statements to indicate what must happen for a certain result to occur.
- It presents a situation that needs to be fulfilled for the outcome to be possible.

Importance in conveying conditions:
- Using the conjunction "unless" helps in clearly stating conditions that need to be met for a specific action or outcome.
- It adds clarity to the requirement that must be satisfied for the desired result to be achieved.

Conclusion:
- "Unless" is the conjunction used to express a condition that must be met before a certain action or event can take place. It is crucial in conveying requirements and setting clear conditions for desired outcomes.

Krish Iyer answered
Explanation:

Background:
Last Sunday was the day of your mother's birthday. You wanted to buy a present for her.

Options:
a) so
b) or
c) but
d) because

Analysis of Options:
a) "so" is used to indicate a result or a consequence. It is not appropriate in this context because it does not provide a reason for buying a present for your mother's birthday.
b) "or" is used to present alternatives. It is not suitable in this context because it does not explain the reason for buying a present for your mother's birthday.
c) "but" is used to introduce a contrasting statement. It is not appropriate in this context because it does not explain the reason for buying a present for your mother's birthday.
d) "because" is used to give a reason or an explanation. It is the correct option in this context because it explains the reason why you wanted to buy a present for your mother's birthday.

Conclusion:
The correct answer is option 'A' - "because" because it provides the reason or explanation for wanting to buy a present for your mother's birthday. By choosing this option, you are indicating that you wanted to buy a present for your mother's birthday due to a specific reason, which is not mentioned in the given information.

Samina as well as Tania was present there. The underlined conjunction is?
  • a)
    Correlative conjunction 
  • b)
    Compound conjunction 
  • c)
    Co-ordinating conjunction 
  • d)
    None of these 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coordinating Conjunction

The correct answer is option C, co-ordinating conjunction.

Explanation:

In the given sentence, the conjunction "as well as" is used to connect two subjects - "Samina" and "Tania". This type of conjunction is known as a coordinating conjunction.

Coordinating conjunctions are used to join words, phrases, or clauses that are grammatically equal in a sentence. They are also known as FANBOYS (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So).

In this case, "as well as" is functioning as a coordinating conjunction because it is connecting two subjects, Samina and Tania, which are equal in grammatical structure.

Example:

Here is an example to illustrate the use of a coordinating conjunction:

- John and Mary went to the park.

In this sentence, the coordinating conjunction "and" is used to connect the subjects "John" and "Mary", indicating that both of them went to the park.

Therefore, in the given sentence, "Samina as well as Tania was present there," the conjunction "as well as" is a coordinating conjunction as it is connecting two subjects, Samina and Tania, in the sentence.

Ahmad is failing two of his courses_________ people still consider him one of the most gifted student in the school.
  • a)
    because of this
  • b)
    in spite of this 
  • c)
    to summerize 
  • d)
    to conclude 
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
 In spite of failing two of his courses, people still consider Ahmad one of the most gifted students in the school.
In this sentence, "in spite of this" functions as a subordinate conjunction that introduces the dependent clause "failing two of his courses" to show a contrast with the independent clause that follows it.

  • a)
    our
  • b)

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option:
Hardly had I reached the bus-stop _________ the bus arrived.
  • a)
    than
  • b)
    when
  • c)
    but
  • d)
    and
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
When a story is told in the past tense, the adverbials hardly, scarcely, barely and no sooner are often used to emphasize that one event quickly followed another. The verb describing the earlier event is usually in the past perfect tense. If hardly, scarcely, barely and no sooner are in the initial position, the subject and auxiliary are inverted.
Note that hardly, scarcely and barely are followed by when, while no sooner is followed by than.
Than provides a form of contrast between two events.
When is obviously related to time.
Hence, Option B - 'when' is correct, and the other options cancel out.

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction.
No sooner did the mariner set the sails __________ it began to rain.
  • a)
    Then
  • b)
    Than
  • c)
    When
  • d)
    after
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
In the given sentence, the two events are: (1) The mariner set the sails; and (2) It began to rain. The second event happened immediately after the first. 
If there are two activities or events and the second event occurs immediately after the first, we can express the same using the conjunction, 'No sooner... than'.  The phrase, 'No sooner' introduces the first event. This is already given in the sentence. The word, 'than' introduces the second event. Hence, the most appropriate conjunction to fill the blank and precede the second event (It began to rain) is, 'than'. Option B is the correct answer. 
Option A: The word 'then' when used alone (without the word, 'If) in a sentence is an adverb, which means 'at that time'. Hence, this is not the correct answer. 
Option C: When the word 'then' is used alone in a sentence (i.e. without the word, 'If), it acts an adverb of time and means 'at that time'. It cannot be used in a sentence when the conjunction, 'No sooner' is used. The appropriate way of using it is: 'When the mariner set the sails, it began to rain'. Hence, option C is incorrect. 
Option D: The word 'after' is a conjunction which means, 'during the period of time following (an event)'. It cannot be used in a sentence when the conjunction, 'No sooner' is used. The appropriate way of using it is: 'After the mariner set the sails, it began to rain'. Hence, option D is incorrect. 

He can't walk _______ he fell off the chair _______ hurt his foot, _______ he has a lot of time to read.
1. and / because / so
2. because / and / so
3. so / and / because
4. so / because / and
  • a)
    and / because / so
  • b)
    because / and / so
  • c)
    so / and / because
  • d)
    so / because / and
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
The sentence contains three clauses, and each clause is connected using a different conjunction.
The first clause is "He can't walk," and the conjunction to connect it to the next clause is "because," which shows the cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
The second clause is "he fell off the chair and hurt his foot," and the conjunction to connect it to the last clause is "so," which shows the result of the previous two clauses.
The third clause is "he has a lot of time to read," and the conjunction to connect it to the previous clause is "and," which indicates an additional piece of information.

Which conjunction is used to show that one thing follows another in time?
  • a)
    And
  • b)
    But
  • c)
    Or
  • d)
    Then
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Conjunctions
Conjunctions are essential in linking words, phrases, or clauses within sentences. They help convey relationships between different ideas. One important type of conjunction is the one that indicates a sequence in time.
Conjunctions Explained
- And: Used to add one idea to another.
- But: Indicates contrast between two ideas.
- Or: Presents alternatives or choices.
- Then: Highlights a chronological order of events.
Role of "Then"
The conjunction "then" specifically indicates a sequence, suggesting that one event follows another in time. For example, in the sentence:
- "I finished my homework, then I went out to play."
Here, "then" clearly shows that going out to play occurs after completing homework. It establishes a timeline for the actions.
Why Other Options Don’t Fit
- And: While it connects ideas, it does not imply a time sequence.
- But: Used for contrasting ideas, not for indicating a follow-up in time.
- Or: Suggests options rather than a sequence.
Conclusion
Using "then" effectively communicates the order of events, making it the correct answer for indicating that one event follows another in time. Understanding this helps in constructing clear and logical sentences, especially useful in contexts like Banking Exams, where clarity and precision are paramount.

John likes chocolate ice cream, _______ his brother Jimmy hates it.
  • a)
    but 
  • b)
    yet 
  • c)
    and 
  • d)
    while 
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
 "But" is a coordinating conjunction used to show a contrast between two ideas or clauses. In this sentence, it is used to show the contrast between John's liking for chocolate ice cream and Jimmy's hatred of it.

Which conjunction would best complete this sentence:
"He wanted to study _____ he could get a good job"?
  • a)
    and
  • b)
    but
  • c)
    or
  • d)
    so
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anu Bose answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
In the sentence "He wanted to study _____ he could get a good job," the conjunction plays a crucial role in linking the two clauses meaningfully.
Analyzing the Options
- a) and: This conjunction suggests addition. It would imply he wanted to study and also wanted to get a good job, but it doesn't establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
- b) but: This conjunction indicates contrast. Using "but" would suggest a conflict between wanting to study and the idea of obtaining a good job, which does not fit the intended meaning.
- c) or: This option implies a choice between two possibilities. It would suggest he could either study or get a good job, which is not the intention of the sentence.
- d) so: This conjunction indicates a cause-and-effect relationship. It conveys that the desire to study is motivated by the goal of obtaining a good job.
Conclusion
The correct answer is option 'D' (so) because it effectively connects the desire to study with the purpose of getting a good job. The sentence now reads: "He wanted to study so he could get a good job," which clearly expresses the motivation behind his desire to pursue education. This relationship is essential for conveying the intended meaning.

 I am bringing cold drinks to the party ___________ Waheed is bringing dry fruits.
  • a)
    when 
  • b)
    yet 
  • c)
    since 
  • d)
    and 
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rutuja Das answered
Explanation:

The correct answer to the given question is option 'D' - "and".

Explanation:

The conjunction "and" is used to connect two or more similar ideas or items. In this context, the sentence is expressing that both the speaker and Waheed are bringing different items to the party. The speaker is bringing cold drinks, while Waheed is bringing dry fruits.

Importance of using the conjunction "and":

Using the conjunction "and" in this sentence is important because it helps to convey the idea of both the speaker and Waheed bringing their respective items to the party. It creates a clear and concise sentence structure that indicates the presence of two different contributions to the party.

Alternative conjunctions:

While the conjunction "and" is the most suitable option in this context, there are other conjunctions that can be used as well. However, each of these alternatives would change the meaning or structure of the sentence.

1. When: This conjunction is used to indicate a specific time or condition. Using "when" in this sentence would suggest that the speaker is bringing cold drinks at a particular time or condition, which is not the intended meaning.

2. Yet: This conjunction is used to introduce a contrasting idea or statement. Using "yet" in this sentence would imply that the speaker's contribution of cold drinks contrasts with Waheed's contribution of dry fruits, which is not the intended meaning.

3. Since: This conjunction is used to indicate a cause and effect relationship or a time reference. Using "since" in this sentence would suggest that the speaker is bringing cold drinks because Waheed is bringing dry fruits, which is not the intended meaning.

In conclusion:

The correct answer to the given question is option 'D' - "and". Using the conjunction "and" in the sentence helps to clearly convey the idea that both the speaker and Waheed are bringing different items to the party.

When one of them depends on the other for its full meaning, that clause is the subordinate clause and the clause it depends on is the main clause. Here, we require a time-related conjunction as both clauses are in terms of the events (everyone quieted down, the baby was born) occurring at a particular time. From the options, 'when' is the most suitable option, as it demonstrates an interruption, there's a very short lapse in time between the two events, they both don't occur at the same time, but the second activity interrupts the first, hence we use 'when' and not 'while'.

 'But' is a coordinating conjunction used when both clauses are independent and do not depend on the other for their full meaning, and is used to express a contrast in meaning between these clauses. But here we don't need a coordinating conjunction, and the clauses are not contrast-related, hence option C is incorrect. 'For' is also a coordinating conjunction, used when one clause is inferred or deduced from another, and that isn't the case here, hence option D is incorrect.

Fill in the blank with the best possible option:
Spicy food such _____ the curry which we had yesterday is not good for health.
  • a)
    that
  • b)
    as
  • c)
    if
  • d)
    or
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
The given sentence is about the different types of spicy food. To introduce the examples or the types of a particular banner, we pair 'as' with 'such' and create the idiom or phrase 'such as'. Hence option B is correct. 'That' when paired with 'such' refers to an extent of something as in 'It was such an interesting story that I finished reading it in one sitting'. It does not refer to an example. Hence, option A is incorrect. 'If' refers to a condition, a hypothetical situation that may or may not be true as in 'I'll go if you come with me'. There isn't any hypothetical situation here, and 'if' doesn't pair up with 'such' as they have different meanings, hence option C is incorrect. 'Or' is used to present a choice between two things 'this or that'. There isn't a choice between the hobbies in this sentence, hence it can't be paired with 'such' and option D is incorrect.

Which conjunction is used to express a contrast between two ideas that are both true?
  • a)
    And
  • b)
    But
  • c)
    Or
  • d)
    Yet
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
The conjunction "yet" is used to express a contrast between two ideas that are both true. For example, "I'm tired, yet I can't fall asleep."

Which conjunction is used to express the result of a condition?

    And
  • b)
    But
  • c)
    Or
  • d)
    If
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
The conjunction "if" is used to express the result of a condition. For example, "If I study hard, I will get good grades."

James is arrogant. He would never ask for help. 
  • a)
    James is so arrogant that he would never ask for help.
  • b)
    James is arrogant so that he would never ask for help.
  • c)
    So arrogant James is that he would never ask for help.
  • d)
    That James is so arrogant he would never ask for help.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
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 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'. The given sentence does not focus on purpose, but the result, 'so' emphasizes the quality of being arrogant, which results in "he would never ask for help". This can be seen in option A, hence it's correct. 'So that' in option B refers to a purpose, the sentence changes the meaning to 'for the purpose of not asking for help, James is arrogant', which isn't true, hence option B is incorrect. The construction of 'So arrogant James is' is incorrect, as a sentence of this type cannot begin with 'so', hence C is incorrect. 'That' in D functions as a demonstrative adjective, referring to James, whereas 'so...that' is supposed to focus on the effect of being arrogant. the order has also changed, where 'that' precedes 'so', making option D incorrect for these reasons.

Which conjunction is used to join two or more words together?
  • a)
    And
  • b)
    But
  • c)
    Or
  • d)
    Yet
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Mehta answered
The conjunction "and" is used to join two or more words together to create a compound subject or object.

No sooner had I received her text, ____ I left for her house.
  • a)
    but
  • b)
    than
  • c)
    when
  • d)
    for
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases, or clauses together.
The structure no sooner is used to talk about something that happens immediately after something else. When no sooner comes at the beginning of a sentence, we use inverted word order. That means the auxiliary verb comes before the subject. The conjunction 'No sooner ---- than' is also used to denote simultaneous actions. The given sentence depicts that as soon as I received her text, I left for her house immediately. These two activities take place almost simultaneously. There is no real time difference between them. Thus Option B is correct. Option A can be ruled out as but is used to introduce a word or phrase that contrasts with what was said before.'For' explains reason or sights purpose.Thus Option D can be ruled out.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 C is incorrect as it cannot be used along with 'no sooner'.

Which conjunction is used to give alternatives?

 'But' is a coordinating conjunction used when both clauses are independent and do not depend on the other for their full meaning, and is used to express a contrast in meaning between these clauses.

'For' is also a coordinating conjunction, used when one clause is inferred or deduced from another, and that isn't the case here, hence option D is incorrect.
