Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:

• A. Otherwise
• B. Like
• C. As though
• D. The way

Answer 1

The correct option is C As though

A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases or clauses.

'As though' is used to talk about an imaginary situation or a situation that may not be true but that is likely or possible. The given sentence gives the meaning of 'as if'.

'Otherwise' is used to describe cause and effect situations.

'Like' is used as a conjunction instead of as.

'The way' is used to compare the situation which already been mentioned.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
