_________ she had sung, the whole audience stood and applauded loudly.

• A. Although
• B. After
• C. Therefore
  
• D. So long as

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

After

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

Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

'Although' is used to contrast ideas.

'After' is used to consider what happened in the past. Here, it is explained that when she sang, the whole crowd applauded.

'Therefore' is used mostly in argumentation when one statement logically follows from another.

'So long as' is used to refer the intended duration of a plan or an idea. It mostly refers to the future situation.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
