Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable conjunction:
It's __________ four o'clock$!$ We will not be late for the flight to Goa.

• A. Already
• B. Than
• C. Only
• D. Which

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Only

The correct answer to this question is Option C. Here, 'only' is used to mean that it's just four o'clock and that they would not be late for their flight. Hence, 'only' successfully plays the role of a conjunction by helping to build a meaningful relationship between both the sentences.

Option A is incorrect as 'already' is used to refer to an event that has or hasn't happened before another event in the past or present. Since the sentence is talking about an event that has yet to happen, using this option would change the meaning of the first sentence and thus would not render any logical connection with the second sentence.

Options B and D are incorrect because 'than' is used as a comparative. An example would be, 'he is taller than me.' 'Which' is used to ask questions and also in relative clauses to refer to animals or things. Using either of these options in the sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
