Question

Combine the sentences using a conjunction that expresses contrast:
Jamie opened the window. His mother asked him not to.

• A. Jamie opened the window, therefore is mother asked him not to.
• B. Jamie opened the window and his mother asked him not to.
• C. Jamie opened the window, so his mother asked him not to.
• D. Jamie opened the window, although his mom asked him not to.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Jamie opened the window, although his mom asked him not to.

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.

And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options B and C as incorrect answers.

Option D is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.

Option A is incorrect as the conjunction 'therefore' is used to explain cause and effect.
