Example Question #13 : Conjunctions
Choose the word that best completes the following sentence.
I stayed in the sun too long, _______ I got a sunburn.
Possible Answers:
but
so
for
or
Correct answer:
so
Explanation:
The correct answer is "so." The conjunction "so" shows a cause and effect relationship, which is the case in this sentence: the subject was in the sun too long, which caused a sunburn. The word "so" is similar in meaning to the word "therefore." The sentence would not make sense if the other conjunctions ("or", "but", and "for") were placed in the blank. That is why the best choice is "so."
