Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable conjunction:
_________ it was very hot, they ate ice cream.

• A. Since
• B. And
• C. Still
• D. Till

Answer 1

The correct option is A Since

Conjunctions are words that link other words, phrases or clauses together. 'Since' is used to show one of the two associations: time or cause/reason. In the given sentence, a reason is described to have ice cream. 'And' is used to link equal parts of the sentence. 'Still' is used to denote that an action or situation continues to the present because it has not finished. 'Till' is used to denote a particular time which is less formal and is used mainly in speech and informal writing.

Thus, option A is the correct answer per the rule.
