Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given.
The house __________ we've just bought overlooks the beach.

• A. That
• B. What
• C. Then
• D. Where

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

That

The conjunction 'that' is used to identify a specific person or thing observed or heard by the speaker. In this sentence, the speaker is using this particular conjunction to specify the house which overlooks the sea. Hence option A is the correct answer.

Option B is incorrect because 'what' is used to ask for information specifying something or to ask about the reason for something. So, this conjunction cannot be used to frame a complete meaningful sentence in the given context.

'Then' is used to indicate what happens or happened next, or what should be done next. It is also used to mean ‘at that time’, referring either to the past or the future, 'next' or 'in addition'. As none of these usages of 'then' can make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful, option C is incorrect as well.

We use 'where' as a conjunction to mean in the place that or in situations that. Since this usage too is not grammatically correct if used in the sentence, option D is incorrect.
