Question

Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence.

I enjoyed reading the story. It was rather sad, _______.

• A. also
• B. but
• C. so
• D. though

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

though

Though is an adverb which is used when you are saying something that contrasts from the previous statement. Here, both the sentences are in contrast to each other.

Also is used to mean that in addition to other things. But is used as an adverb that means 'merely' and can modify a verb or an adjective. So is used for emphasizing the quality.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
