Question

The equipment is in such poor condition that we have no alternative to buy new ones.

• A. Many alternative like
• B. any alternative except
• C. no other alternative
• D. no alternative but
• E. No correction required

Answer 1

The correct option is D no alternative but

'No alternative' is a negative expression. So, use of adversative conjunction 'but' makes sense here. Hence, (d) is appropriate.
Eg: I have no alternative but to look for another job.
