Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:Q. Asha is wiser ...
Explanation:
The correct conjunction to fill in the blank is "than."
Comparative Degree:
In this sentence, we are comparing the wisdom of Asha and Nisha. When comparing two things, we use the comparative degree. The comparative degree is formed by adding "-er" to the adjective or by using "more" before the adjective. In this case, we are comparing the wisdom, so we need to use the comparative form of the adjective "wise," which is "wiser."
Conjunction:
To connect the two parts of the sentence that are being compared, we need to use a conjunction. In this case, we need to use the conjunction "than." The conjunction "than" is used to show a comparison between two things or people. It is used after the comparative form of the adjective.
Sentence Structure:
The sentence structure for this sentence is as follows:
Subject (Asha) + Verb (is) + Comparative Adjective (wiser) + Conjunction (than) + Subject (Nisha).
Example:
Asha is wiser than her sister Nisha.
Other Options:
- Option 'A' - "then" is used to indicate a sequence or a consequence, but it is not appropriate in this context.
- Option 'C' - "if" is used to introduce a condition or a possibility, but it does not fit in this sentence.
- Option 'D' - "but" is used to show contrast or contradiction, but it does not fit in this sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' - "than."
