Question

The little baby had no blanket. It was very cold.
Combine the above sentence with a conjunction that expresses a contrast:

• A. The little baby had no blanket although it was very cold.
• B. The little baby had no blanket and it was very cold.
• C. The little baby had no blanket, so it was very cold.
• D. The little baby had no blanket t was very cold.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The little baby had no blanket although it was very cold.

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 B and C as incorrect answers.

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

Option D is incorrect as it has not been joined by any conjunction.
