Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 1

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

Q. ________ the children look like their mother.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 1

Option A and C is incorrect because of the wrong usage of Either and Neither as both are followed by singular noun-verb combination. Option D is incorrect as we use also to emphasize what follows it or to add in addition to a new point. Hence Option B is the correct choice.

Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 2

Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:

Q. She was told that she must agree.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 2

The main function of a conjunction is to connect or combine two clauses/sentences as one. In the given sentence, we can identify the clauses as "She was told" and "she must agree", as they're grammatically complete, with the subject as "She" and the predicate "told" and "agree", a clause is complete with a subject and predicate.
The subject is 'whom the sentence is about' and the predicate tells something about the subject. The word that's been left out is 'that', as it does not form a part of any clause, and connects them both. Hence, 'that' is a conjunction and option C is correct. 'She' is a third person singular pronoun. Pronouns modify nouns that have been identified with or mentioned before, thus eliminating the repetition of the noun. It does not link the clauses, hence it's not a conjunction and option A is incorrect. 'Must' is a modal auxiliary.
Auxiliary verbs determine the tense or mood (here it's obligation of agreeing) of the sentence. It does not link the clauses together hence it's not a conjunction and option B is incorrect. 'Agree' is a verb that means conforming to or having the same opinions as that of another person. It does not link the clauses, hence it's not a conjunction and option D is incorrect.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 3

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'And' is used to link two equal parts of the sentence. Here. 'Dennis' and 'His friend' are the two equal parts of the sentence. 'But' is used to show contrast. 'Therefore' is used to denote a reason for something. Thus. option B is the correct answer. 

Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 4

Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:

Q. Read the instructions before you assemble the parts.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 4

A conjunction's main function is to join or combine two clauses as a statement. In the given sentence, the clauses are identified as "Read the instructions" and "you assemble the parts", where the latter is the subordinate/dependent clause because it depends on the former, the main/independent clause, for its full meaning. They both sound grammatically complete, though the latter isn't complete in meaning. The word that's been left behind is 'before', as it combines the clauses and is not a part of them.
'Before' is a subordinating conjunction and is used for time-related sentences, like the given one, where the events "read" and "assemble" occur one after the other. Hence, option D is correct. 'You' is a second person singular pronoun, it addresses the listener, with whom the speaker is having a conversation. It does not combine the clauses, the clause before and after 'you' sound incomplete, hence it's not a conjunction and option A is incorrect. 'The' is an article that modifies the noun "instructions", it does not combine the sentences, hence option B is incorrect. 'Read' is a verb that describes the action of reading, 'comprehending words in written form'. It does not link the clauses together, hence option C is incorrect.

A conjunction is a part of speech used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. 'But' is coordinating conjunction used to suggest a contrast. The given sentence shows the contrast of the flowering in plants thus option A is the correct answer. 'However' is used when you are saying something that seems surprising after your previous statement. 'Nevertheless' is used to signify 'in spite of'. 'Otherwise' is used to describe cause and effect situations.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 9

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.

Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 10

Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:

Q. His dish was the best though he cooked the slowest.

Detailed Solution for Test: Conjunctions- 1 - Question 10

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.
