10. They love pepperoni pizza, ________ surprised them with a big slice.
✘ This sentence seems
incomplete or incorrectly phrased.
Let’s analyze:
- "They love pepperoni pizza" — subject + verb
- "surprised them with a big slice" — missing subject
Possibility: It might be meant to say:
"They love pepperoni pizza, so I surprised them with a big slice."
Then the correct conjunction is
so (because the action follows from their love).
But as written, it's grammatically flawed. Assuming a typo, the intended sentence is likely:
> "They love pepperoni pizza,
so I surprised them with a big slice."
✔ so

✔ Final Answers:
1. and
2. so
3. or
4. but
5. and
6. and
7. but
8. and
9. but
10. so *(assuming corrected sentence)*
