Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
____________ the bans remained in force, Turkey could not claim to be fully democratic.

• A. Unless
• B. Provided
• C. As long as
• D. Because of

Answer 1

The correct option is C As long as

A conjunction is a word used to connect other words, phrases or clauses. 'As long as' is used to refer the intended duration of a plan or an idea. It mostly refers to the future situation. 'Because of' is used to relate to the reason of something. 'Unless' is used to mean except if.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
