Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable option:
I know it was an accident, but the window is shattered _____________, and you're going to have to pay for it.

• A. but
• B. nevertheless
• C. and
• D. yet

Answer 1

The correct option is B nevertheless

'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point. It is used to show the meaning 'in spite of' that. 'But' is used to contrast the ideas. 'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation. 'And' is used to express also, in addition, moreover and plus.

The given sentence can be completed by adding 'nevertheless' because the contrast is shown between the accident and shattering of the window. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
