Question

Fill in the blank with the suitable conjunction from the options given:
You will wait ________ I return.

• A. still
• B. or
• C. till
• D. but

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

till

Option A - 'Still' means 'yet'. For example, 'She doesn't have time, still, she offered to help.' As the given sentence doesn't explain 'despite the situation...', we can't use 'still' here. Thus option A is incorrect.

Option B - 'Or' is used for options. For example, 'I want vanilla or chocolate ice cream.' As the given sentence doesn't have options or choices, we can't use 'or'. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option D - 'But' is used to explain contrasting ideas/things in a sentence. For example, 'I want to walk but I'm tired.' As the sentence doesn't explain contrasting ideas, we can't use 'but' here. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option C - 'Till' means 'up to a time/until'. For example, 'You can sleep till it's 7 a.m.' As the given sentence explains the time until the subject has to wait, we can use 'till' here. Thus option C is the correct answer.

'You will wait till I return.'
