Question

They ate some fruit, but drank some milk.
Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.

• A. and
• B. since
• C. although
• D. NO CHANGE

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

and

Here, there are two statements: 'they ate some fruit' and 'drank some milk'. The second statement adds to the first without expressing contrast, inference or choice. In such cases, we use additive or cumulative conjunctions such as and, also, too, etc. Hence, the correct option is A) And.
