Apparently Betty is jealous ___________ I get better grades than she does.

• A. In spite of
• B. In case
• C. Moreover
• D. Because

Answer 1

The correct option is D Because

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

Subordinating conjunction connects or joins an independent clause with a subordinate clause.

'Because' is used to provide a reason for something. The given sentence explains the reason why Betty is jealous.

'Moreover' is used to say 'over and above that' or 'additionally'.

'In case' is used to express how precautions for the possibility of something happening would be taken.

'In spite of' is used to express that something is unexpected or surprising.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
