Conjunction Detective Game with Printable-BEST SELLER! by Lovin-Life - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded an image containing a grammar exercise focused on choosing the correct conjunctions or transitional phrases to complete sentences. The task involves selecting from options such as *Since, Although, While, Until, After, Before, Because, So that*, etc., to make logical and grammatically correct sentences.

Let’s go through each sentence one by one, analyze the context, and determine the correct choice with explanations.

---

(a)

"______ he broke his leg, Alan could not swim in the meet."

Options: Because, In order that

- "Because" introduces a reason: *He broke his leg* is the cause of *not being able to swim*.
- "In order that" is used for purpose (e.g., "I studied hard so that I could pass"), which doesn't fit here.

✔ Correct answer: Because

> Because he broke his leg, Alan could not swim in the meet.

(b)

"______ you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap."

Options: Until, After, While

- "Until" means "up to the time when" — doesn’t make sense here.
- "While" means "during the time that" — but cleaning should happen before storing, not during.
- "After" means "following" — this makes sense: clean them after storing? Wait — no! That would be backwards.

Wait — logic: You clean the pieces before storing them. But the sentence says: “______ you store the pieces... clean them.” That suggests cleaning happens at the same time or after storing.

But if you clean after storing, it's illogical — you can’t clean something already stored.

So perhaps the intended meaning is: Before you store the pieces, clean them.

But "Before" isn't listed among the options.

Wait — let’s check the options again:

> Options: Until, After, While

Hmm — none of these work perfectly.

But consider:
“After you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.” → This implies cleaning after storage — which is illogical.

“While you store...” — means at the same time — possible, but awkward.

“Until” — “Until you store...” → “Clean them until you store?” No.

This seems problematic.

Wait — maybe there’s a typo in the options?

Alternatively, perhaps the sentence is meant to be:
“Before you store the pieces... clean them.” — but "Before" is not listed.

Looking back at the original image, the options are:

> (b) ______ you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.
> Until, After, While

None of these make logical sense unless we interpret differently.

Wait — perhaps it’s "After" — but only if we assume they’re cleaned after storing — which is odd.

But maybe it's a mistake — or perhaps it's "Before", but it's not listed.

Wait — let’s look at the original image text again:

> (b) ______ you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.
> Until, After, While

Actually, "Before" might be missing — but let’s suppose the options are fixed.

Alternative interpretation: Maybe the sentence is supposed to be:

> “While you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.” — meaning: as you store them, also clean them.

That could work, though awkward.

But better: "Before" would be ideal.

But since "Before" is not in the list, and "After" implies cleaning after storage (which is strange), and "Until" doesn’t fit.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is backwards?

Maybe it's meant to be:
“Clean them with soap before you store them.”

But the sentence structure is:
“______ you store..., clean them.”

So the action “clean them” comes after the clause.

So “After you store…” → clean them → that would mean cleaning after storing — which is illogical.

So none of the options seem correct.

But let’s reevaluate.

Wait — perhaps the sentence is:

> “______ you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.”

If we use "After", it would mean: After you store them, clean them — which is backward.

"While": During the act of storing, clean them — possible, but unusual.

"Until": Clean them until you store them — implies cleaning continues up to the point of storage — possible.

“Clean them until you store them” → means you keep cleaning until the moment you store — which makes sense.

So: Until you store the pieces, clean them with soap.

That could work — meaning: clean them until they are stored.

Yes, that’s acceptable.

✔ Correct answer: Until

> Until you store the pieces in the bag, clean them with soap.

Meaning: Keep cleaning them until they are stored.

(Though slightly awkward, it’s grammatically correct.)

(c)

"______ you are going to the store, will you please buy some milk?"

Options: So that, Unless, Since

- "So that" = purpose: "I’m going to the store so that I can buy milk" — but here, the request is conditional on going.
- "Unless" = if not — “Unless you go…”, which doesn’t fit.
- "Since" = because / given that — “Since you are going to the store…” → yes, that fits.

✔ Correct answer: Since

> Since you are going to the store, will you please buy some milk?

(Since = because, indicating a reason.)

(d)

"______ you do not want to get sick, you should get plenty of rest."

Options: Unless, So that, Since

- "Unless" = if not — “Unless you don’t want to get sick…” → that’s double negative, confusing.
- “Unless you do not want to get sick” = “if you want to get sick” — opposite of intended.
- "So that" = for the purpose of — “So that you do not get sick” — that works!
- “You should get plenty of rest so that you do not get sick.”
- "Since" = because — “Since you do not want to get sick…” — possible, but weaker than “so that”.

But “So that” expresses purpose clearly.

Wait — the sentence is:

> "______ you do not want to get sick, you should get plenty of rest."

So: [Condition] you do not want to get sick → you should rest.

"Since" = because you don’t want to get sick, you should rest.

That’s valid.

"So that" would require: “Get plenty of rest so that you do not get sick.” — but the structure is reversed.

Here: “______ you do not want to get sick, you should get rest.”

So “Since” fits best.

"Unless" doesn’t work.

So:

✔ Correct answer: Since

> Since you do not want to get sick, you should get plenty of rest.

(Since = because)

(e)

"______ we go to school we need to eat a good breakfast."

Options: After, Before, So that

- "After" we go to school → we need to eat breakfast? That’s backward — you eat before school.
- "Before" we go to school → we need to eat breakfast — yes!
- "So that" = purpose — “We eat breakfast so that we can go to school” — but here, the sentence is about needing to eat breakfast before going.

So: “Before we go to school, we need to eat a good breakfast.”

✔ Correct answer: Before

(f)

"______ we tried our very best, we lost the challenge."

Options: Since, Although, Because

- "Since" = because — “Since we tried our best, we lost” → implies trying hard caused the loss — illogical.
- "Because" = reason — same issue — “Because we tried hard, we lost” — doesn’t make sense.
- "Although" = despite — “Although we tried our best, we lost” — yes! That shows contrast.

✔ Correct answer: Although

> Although we tried our very best, we lost the challenge.

(Shows contrast: effort didn’t lead to success.)
