Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable conjunction:
___________ he was suffering from fever, he could not appear in the examination.

• A. Since
• B. Although
• C. But
• D. When

Answer 1

The correct option is A Since

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'But' is used to show contrast. 'When' is used to denote time. 'Since' is used to show one of the two associations: time or cause/reason. Here, the cause of not appearing in the examination is shown. Thus. option A is the correct answer.
