The shop had plain glasses not magnifying glasses.

• A. Glasses but not
• B. Glasses and not
• C. Glasses if not
• D. Glasses for not

Answer 1

The correct option is A Glasses but not

The sentence has two contrasting parts: 'had plain glasses' and 'not magnifying glasses.' To join two contrasting parts in a sentence, we need an adversative conjunction. So, the right answer is option A) Glasses but not.
