Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
_________ I were a bird, I would fly high.

• A. Since
• B. For
• C. Because
• D. If

Answer 1

The correct option is D If

Option A - 'Since' is used to explain an action that started at a given time in the past and is ongoing in the present and might continue in the future. For example, 'I haven't gone to London since 2008.' As the given sentence doesn't explain an event that took place in the past and is ongoing in the present, we can't use 'since' here. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'For' is used when the sentence has the beginning time and the end time of an action. For example, 'I have studied for five years.' This means that the person started studying from the first until the fifth year. As the given sentence doesn't explain the duration, we can't use 'for' here. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Because' is used to give reasons. For example, 'I didn't go to school because I have a headache.' As the given sentence doesn't explain a reason, we can't use 'because' here. Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'If' is used to explain conditional clauses. It is used to explain things that and consequences that might take place if something happens or has happened. For example, 'If you had studied harder, you wouldn't fail.' As the given sentence explains a condition, we can use 'if' here. Thus option D is the correct answer.

'If I were a bird, I would fly high.'
