We both like sailing, ________ we live near the sea.

• A. And as
• B. Because
• C. So
• D. But

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

So

The correct answer is Option C.

SO is used when a reason is expressed first.

The reason they live near the sea is that they like sailing.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason.

AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.

BUT is used to express contrast.
