Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:
You must study hard or you will fail the exam.
Report Question
0%
or
0%
you
0%
will
0%
must
Explanation
'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.
Fill in blank (2) ____________.
Report Question
0%
Although
0%
So
0%
For
0%
Neither
Explanation
Option A- ALTHOUGH is the correct answer. Although means - 'even though' or 'in spite of the fact that'. The speaker wishes to convey the same meaning that 'even though she has not been to the gym, she has heard of it and the trainer'.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
Option B- FOR is used to convey reason.
Option C-SO is used to convey the result of an action.
Option D- NEITHER is used to denote negation.
Thus, options B, C and D are incorrect and Option A is the correct answer.
Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:
She was told that she must agree.
Report Question
0%
she
0%
must
0%
that
0%
agree
Explanation
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.
Join the sentences using a suitable connector.
I was bruised. I completed the race.
Report Question
0%
But
0%
Since
0%
While
0%
And
Explanation
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.
Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:
Read the instructions before you assemble the parts.
Report Question
0%
you
0%
the
0%
read
0%
before
Explanation
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.
