Test: Conjunctions- 2 - Class 8 MCQ

The clauses "It must have rained last night" and "the ground is wet" are independent as they are complete in meaning without having to depend on the other. The word 'for' combines these clauses together, it's seen that it performs the functions of an Illative conjunction. An Illative conjunction is that by which one statement or fact is provided or inferred from another. Here, the sentence "the ground is wet" is the fact that is the inference or conclusion of the event "rained last night". Hence 'for' is a conjunction and option D is correct. 'Last' is an adjective that modifies the noun "night" and means "the previous night" or "the night before". As it does not combine the independent clauses, it's not a conjunction and option A is incorrect. 'Wet' is an adjective as it modifies the noun 'ground' and means 'moistened, or soaked with water'. It does not connect the sentences hence it's not a conjunction and option B is incorrect. 'Must' is a modal auxiliary that determines the mood of the sentence, in the context of this sentence it means 'it should have', it does not connect the sentences so it's not a conjunction and option C 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 ).
Option B is the correct answer as 'unless' connects the two clauses 'I will not travel with you' and 'you tell me where we are going'. 'Unless' means except if.
Options A and C are incorrect because they are pronouns and not conjunctions.
Option D is incorrect because 'travel' is a verb and not a conjunction.

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 words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'Than' is used to compare two things. The given sentence is the example of comparative degree where 'than' is used to compare. Thus, option B is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect. 'But' is used to show contrast. 'If' is used to show a condition.

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. 

In the given statement, 'but' is the conjunction, more specifically it's a coordinating conjunction of the adversative/contrasting type. 'But' combines the independent sentences "They had little money" and "they were very content" that are contrast in meaning. "little money" does not imply "very content", as we know most of us aren't content with little money. Hence, option B is correct. 'Very' is an adverb that modifies an adjective, verb or an adverb to emphasize its meaning, here it modifies the adjective 'content'.
It does not combine the clauses, hence option A is incorrect, it's not a conjunction. 'They' is a pronoun, a pronoun replaces a noun that's been mentioned before, and 'they' here refers to a group of people. As it does not combine the clauses, it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect. 'Little' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'money', it's not a conjunction as it doesn't perform the function of combining clauses. Hence, option D is incorrect.

The clauses "It must have rained last night" and "the ground is wet" are independent as they are complete in meaning without having to depend on the other.

'Must' is a modal auxiliary that determines the mood of the sentence, in the context of this sentence it means 'it should have', it does not connect the sentences so it's not a conjunction and option C is incorrect.

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, contrast is described as the hurt bird could hop but because of injury, it cannot fly. 'So' provides the purpose of something. 'Because' is used for giving reasons. Thus, option A is the correct answer. Rest of the options are incorrect.
