Question

Complete the given sentence using an appropriate subordinator:

There are serious traffic problems in your town but, they are building a new road.
You say: I think it will be better _______ they finish the new road.

• A. while
  
• B. if
• C. when
• D. before

Answer 1

The correct option is C when

Subordinate conjunction is a word that links a dependent clause to an independent clause. In time-related sentences, it is used to show a relationship between two clauses involving a transition of time or place. 'When' used as subordinate conjunction signifies 'at the time that'. The clause with when is a subordinate clause (sc) and needs the main clause (mc) to complete its meaning. in the given sentence, 'I think it will be better' is the main clause and 'they finish the new road' is the subordinate clause.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
