Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given.
We didn't enjoy our vacation __________ the weather was awful.

• A. Since
• B. However
• C. Because
• D. Until

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Because

Option C is the correct answer as 'because' typically expresses a logical link between two events or ideas. Often this link is due to a cause and effect relationship. The sentence in question needs a conjunction that is expressing the reason as to why they didn't enjoy their vacation and 'because' is the most suitable out of the options given.

Option A might also seem like a viable option, but there is a thin line of distinction between 'since' and 'because.' When we use 'because' we mainly focus on the reason while 'since' focuses more on the result or the circumstance of an event. As the sentence is focusing more on the reason why they couldn't enjoy their vacation, option A is an incorrect answer.

The most commonly used meanings of 'however' are, but, in spite of, or in whatever way. Because none of these meanings fit grammatically in the sentence, option B is incorrect.

Option D is incorrect as 'until' means up to the point in time or the event mentioned and using this in this sentence would be grammatically incorrect.
