Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We managed to reach our house ________ the road was flooded.

• A. whether
• B. because
• C. although
• D. unless

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

although

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

'Whether' is used to show choice between two possibilities or express doubt.

'Because' is used to provide a reason for something.

'Although' is used to contrast ideas. The given sentence shows the contrast that the road was flooded but we managed to reach our house.

'Unless' is used to mean except if. Unless is followed by a present tense, a past tense, or a past perfect tense (never by a conditional).

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
