Test: Conjunction- 2 - Class 6 MCQ

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 replace 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.

The ideas in the two sentences are contrasting ones. To link two contrasting sentences, we use conjunctions like but, yet, still, while, etc. This rules out options B and D. Although both 'while' and 'but' are used to denote contrast, only 'But' makes a grammatically sound sentence in this question. If we place the word 'while' in this sentence, it will imply that the person 'got bruised at the time of completing the race' which is not what is required here. Hence, option A) But is the right answer.

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

'Or' presents a choice between the alternatives "study hard" and "fail the exam", and 'or' combines these two. 'Or' is an alternative conjunction that combines the clauses "You must study hard" and "you will fail the exam", hence option A is correct. 'You' is a pronoun that refers to the speaker, it does not combine the clauses, in fact it's a part of them, without which the meaning is incomplete. It's not a conjunction, hence option B is incorrect.
'Will' is an auxiliary verb that forms the tense of the sentence, it's not a conjunction as it does not combine the clauses. Hence option C is incorrect. 'Must' is a modal auxiliary that functions to form a mood or tense of a sentence, it does not combine the clauses, hence it isn't a conjunction, option D is incorrect.

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.

The clauses in the given sentence, "He is a slow writer" and "his work is the best yet" are independent as they do not depend on each other for their complete meaning. To combine them as a sentence, a coordinating conjunction is required. The sentence has a contrast meaning "works slow" and "is the best", as slow speed is an undesirable quality and "his work is the best" is a good quality. 'But' is a coordinating conjunction that expresses a contrast between these two qualities, hence option A is correct. 'Slow' is an adjective as it modifies the noun 'speed', describing the speed as 'relatively taking longer time than expected'.
It does not combine the sentences, hence it's not a conjunction and option B is incorrect. Similarly, 'best' is an adjective as it modifies the noun 'work' referring to the work as that of the highest quality. It does not connect the sentences, hence it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect. 'He' is a pronoun, that refers to a man that's been mentioned before, as it's a pronoun and does not combine the sentences here, it's not a conjunction and option 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 ). Hence option D, 'but', is the correct answer as it coordinates the words strict and kind.
Options A and C are incorrect because 'kind' and 'strict' are adjectives that are naming the attributes of the noun 'teacher'.
Option B is incorrect because 'is' is a verb and not a conjunction. 

Here, the two clauses are “It must have rained” and “the ground is still wet”. Both are related and show continuation, not contrast or reason. The coordinating conjunction ‘and’ correctly connects the two ideas.

• “But” shows contrast (not intended).
• “Because” shows reason (not fitting here, as the ground being wet is the evidence, not the cause).
• “Although” introduces contrast (not correct).

Correct sentence: It must have rained, and the ground is still wet.

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.

The sentence shows two alternatives: “Practice regularly” or “you will not become a great pianist.”
The word ‘or’ is a coordinating conjunction presenting alternatives.

• “You” is a pronoun.
• “Will” is an auxiliary verb showing future tense.
• “Become” is a verb.

Correct conjunction: or.
