Here's the completed worksheet with correct conjunctions and explanations:
---
1. Meenal doesn't like to swim, ___ does she enjoy cycling. [nor, or]
✔ Answer: nor
Explanation:
“Nor” is used to connect two negative ideas — “doesn’t like to swim” and “does she enjoy cycling.” It’s a formal way of saying “and not.”
*Correct sentence:* Meenal doesn’t like to swim,
nor does she enjoy cycling.

2. He is rich, ___ he is not happy. [yet, and]
✔ Answer: yet
Explanation:
“Yet” shows contrast — even though he is rich (positive), he is not happy (negative). “And” would just add information without showing contrast.
*Correct sentence:* He is rich,
yet he is not happy.

3. Hurry up, ___ you will be late. [and, or]
✔ Answer: or
Explanation:
“Or” gives a consequence or warning — if you don’t hurry, the result is being late. “And” wouldn’t make sense here because it doesn’t show consequence.
*Correct sentence:* Hurry up,
or you will be late.

4. Would you like milk ___ hot chocolate for your breakfast? [and, or]
✔ Answer: or
Explanation:
This is offering a choice between two options — milk or hot chocolate. “Or” is used for alternatives. “And” would mean both together, which isn’t typical in this context.
*Correct sentence:* Would you like milk
or hot chocolate for your breakfast?

5. It’s Monday today, ___ I have to go to school. [so, but]
✔ Answer: so
Explanation:
“So” shows cause and effect — because it’s Monday, the result is having to go to school. “But” would show contrast, which doesn’t fit here.
*Correct sentence:* It’s Monday today,
so I have to go to school.

6. I wanted to watch a movie, ___ my mother asked me to study. [but, yet]
✔ Answer: but

*Correct sentence:* I wanted to watch a movie,
but my mother asked me to study.
