Solution
The correct option is A Incorrect = as, Correct = so
'As' is used to connect the reason with the result in a sentence. However, in the given sentence, 'not seeing the point of working on it' is not the reason for 'the subject being difficult'. This eliminates option C). 'Because' is used as a coordinating conjunction to join two parts of a sentence when the reason is very important. 'Since' is used when the reason is already known. This eliminates options B) and D). 'So' is used to show the consequence of something and is the most appropriate word to use in place of 'as' in the sentence. The correct answer, therefore, is option A).
