Question

I'll be there. I'll be a little late.
Combine the above sentence with a conjunction that expresses a contrast:

• A. I'll be there and I'll be a little late.
• B. I'll be there, although I'll be a little late.
• C. I'll be there, so I'll be a little late.
• D. I'll be there in spite I'll be a little late.

Answer 1

The correct option is B I'll be there, although I'll be a little late.

We can determine the correct answer with the help of logic and by eliminating the incorrect answer.

The subordinating conjunctions used to express contrast in a sentence are though, although, as, however, whoever, whatever and notwithstanding.

And, so do not express contrast. We can thus eliminate options A and C as incorrect answers.

Option B is the correct answer as the conjunction 'although' joins the two sentence to express a contrast.

Option D is incorrect as 'in spite of' is a prepositional phrase and not a conjunction.
