Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
We went out _________ it stopped raining.

• A. until
• B. as soon as
• C. as
• D. while

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.

'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'.

'Until' means up to the time of, or before. The given sentence explains the activity of waiting until the plane took off.

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

'As' is used to connect a result with a cause.

Thus, option B is the correct answer.
