Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
Rocky is wasting his money ______ his parents are starving.

• A. than
• B. then
• C. while
• D. since

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

while

Subordinating conjunction is a word that links a dependent clause to an independent clause. 'While' is used at the same time as something else is happening. In the given sentence, actions are happening at the same time. 'Than' is used to compare two things in the sentence. 'Then' is used to denote time. 'Since' is used to denote a specific time or event in the past.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
