Question

Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:

Beethoven and Mozart are great classical musicians.

• A. and
• B. are
• C. great
• D. musicians

Answer 1

The correct option is A and

A conjunction is a word that is used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g. and, but, if ).

Option B - 'Are' is a helping verb/auxiliary. Thus option B is incorrect.

Option C - 'Great' is an adjective, which is used to describe 'musicians' (here). Thus option C is incorrect.

Option D - 'Musicians' is a noun. Thus option D is incorrect.

Option A - 'And' is a conjunction as it joins two names/clauses in the given sentence - 'Beethoven' and 'Mozart'. Thus option A is the correct answer.
