Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

The mixture is applied through cones in intricate patterns __________ depends on the region of use.

• A. As well as
• B. So that
• C. However
• D. Which

Answer 1

The correct option is D Which

Option C: 'Which' is a relative pronoun that connects the noun to the rest of the sentence. Here, 'which' refers to the noun 'patterns', by giving more information about it, that 'it depends on the region of use'. Hence this is most suitable and option C is correct.

Options A, B and D: 'As well as', 'so that' and 'however' are all conjunctions that connect clauses. But here, the words that follow the blank 'depends on the region of use' does not form a clause, but a phrase. Hence these options are incorrect.
