Test: Conjunction - Class 9 MCQ

Case of coordinative conjunction. The sentence implies that - Sania went to play, however, Samentha stayed at home. Option 2 best explains the same.

Case of subordinative conjunction. The sentence implies that one action takes place 'later in time' to the other. Hence, conjunction 'after' is the best option.

In this conditional statement, 'unless' which means 'except' should be used.

'Other than' in the sentence means the same as 'except'.

Case of coordinative conjunction. 'And' joins the two parts of the sentence and gives it some meaning.

The suitable conjunction to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "therefore."
Explanation:
In the sentence, it is mentioned that Tom is very forgetful, and the speaker cannot trust him. The conjunction used should indicate a cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses. Let's analyze the options given:
A: Therefore - This conjunction is suitable as it indicates a logical conclusion or result based on the first clause. It shows that because Tom is very forgetful, the speaker cannot trust him.
B: Because - This conjunction is not suitable because it indicates a reason for something. Using "because" would imply that the speaker cannot trust Tom because he is forgetful, which may not be the intended meaning.
C: For - This conjunction is not suitable as it is usually used to indicate a reason or purpose, rather than a consequence.
D: But - This conjunction is not suitable as it indicates a contrast or contradiction, which does not fit the cause-and-effect relationship between the two clauses.
Therefore, the correct conjunction to fill in the blank is "therefore," as it conveys the desired cause-and-effect relationship between Tom's forgetfulness and the speaker's lack of trust.

'So' is used to create emphasis. It modifies or intensifies the verb 'spoke' in the sentence .

Case of subordinative sentence. 'Whether' is used in conditional statements. Here, it means 'if'.

Case of correlative conjunction. 'No sooner' always takes 'than'.  'No sooner' means 'as soon as' in the sentence.

The use of 'too' here implies that 'he is so weak that he cannot walk'. In negative sentences, we prefer 'too' to 'very'.
