Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
_________ the film is over, I'll go to bed.

• A. While
• B. As soon as
• C. By the time
• D. Until

Answer 1

The correct option is B As soon as

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

Compound conjunctions are those which may have two or three parts and they always go together like 'as soon as', 'as well as' etc.

'While' means something that is happening at the same time as something else or indicates a contrast.

'As soon as' is used to show that something happens immediately, i.e. ‘at the very moment another action is completed’, or ‘shortly after another action is completed’. The given sentence explains activities happening together.

'Until' means up to the time of, or before.

By the time is followed by a clause that relates a time-frame, for viewing the progress or completion of the activity in the main clause or includes an activity with duration and an end-point.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
