Question

Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

She needs to practice the piano six hours a day, for she will not pass her music exam.

• A. else
• B. but
• C. and
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

The correct option is A else

Co-ordinating conjunction is used to link equal parts of a sentence including clauses and phrases. Alternative conjunction presents two alternatives, indicating a choice between them. 'Else' is used to give options in a sentence. 'But' is adversative conjunction. 'And' is cumulative conjunction. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
