Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate option.

Either you help me ____ I shall fail.

• A. Otherwise
• B. But
• C. Else
• D. Or

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Or

• Correct answer: option (D)
  

Reason:

Correlative conjunctions work in pair to join words or group of words. An example of this is "Either...or" pair. Thus for the above sentence option (D) is correct because sentence starts with 'Either'.

• Option (A) (B) (C) are incorrect.
  

Reason:

For option (A) -Correlative conjunction pair (either...or) is used. Hence 'otherwise' is invalid.

For option (B) option (C) - Both 'But' & 'Else' makes the sentence logically incorrect.

• Final answer is "Either you help me or I shall fail."
