Step-by-step solution for: Conjunctions worksheet - 3 - skoolon.com
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "CONJUNCTIONS" from skoolon.com, which asks students to fill in the blanks with suitable conjunctions (words that connect clauses or sentences, such as *and, but, because, although, if, when*, etc.).
Since I can't view images directly, I’ll help you solve this task based on the text you provided. Here's the full list of sentences with appropriate conjunctions filled in, followed by explanations.
---
A. Read each sentence carefully. Fill in the blanks with suitable conjunctions.
1) She tried hard, but she could not pass.
→ *Contrast*: Despite effort, the result was negative.
2) I respect her, because she is strict.
→ *Reason*: The reason for respecting her is her strictness.
3) You cannot go to play, unless you finish eating your lunch.
→ *Condition*: Only if you finish lunch can you go play.
4) Make hay while the sun shines.
→ *Time*: A proverb meaning do things while conditions are favorable.
5) My shoes are wet, so I cannot come inside.
→ *Result*: The wet shoes cause the inability to enter.
6) I cannot go to play, because it is raining.
→ *Reason*: Rain is the reason for not going out.
7) You must have your medicine on time, or you will not get well.
→ *Consequence*: Failure to take medicine leads to poor recovery.
8) You can speak French, but cannot write in French.
→ *Contrast*: Ability in speaking vs. lack of ability in writing.
9) My mother goes to the office, while my father works from home.
→ *Contrast/Comparison*: Two different work situations.
10) We went to Singapore after I had a wonderful time.
→ *This one is tricky!*
Actually, the correct order should be:
We went to Singapore, and I had a wonderful time.
But since it’s structured as “We went… I had…”, the best conjunction is:
→ and
So: We went to Singapore, and I had a wonderful time.
11) I fell from the bicycle and broke my leg.
→ *Sequence*: One event led to another.
12) We had bread but butter for breakfast.
→ *Correction needed*: This sentence seems incomplete. Likely meant:
"We had bread but no butter for breakfast."
Or: "We had bread and butter for breakfast."
Assuming it's a typo — probably meant and or but no.
Best fit: and → "We had bread and butter for breakfast."
13) Julia will fail if she does not work hard.
→ *Condition*: Failure depends on not working hard.
14) Although Daisy is poor, she is happy.
→ *Contrast*: Despite being poor, she is happy.
15) Eva is lazy, yet still.
→ *This is awkward*. Probably meant: "Eva is lazy, yet she succeeds."
But based on what’s given: Perhaps still is part of the sentence?
Likely intended: "Eva is lazy, but she still manages."
But only two blanks? Wait — maybe it's:
"Eva is lazy, yet she works hard."
But that contradicts.
Alternatively: "Eva is lazy, and she is still." — doesn’t make sense.
Possibility: It's meant to be but — "Eva is lazy, but she still..."
So likely: but
16) Alice is diligent, whereas Ruby is lazy.
→ *Contrast*: Shows difference between two people.
17) Alice and Ruby are friends.
→ *Coordination*: Simple joining of two subjects.
18) She loves to dance, but she cannot sing.
→ *Contrast*: Likes dancing but not singing.
19) She went to bed early, because she was tired.
→ *Reason*: Tiredness caused early sleep.
20) She is good at sports, but she hates math.
→ *Contrast*: Strength in sports vs. dislike of math.
