Question

Complete the sentence with the most suitable option:
Robert didn’t study for the test; __________ he did very veil.
a) consequently
b) therefore
c) moreover
d) nevertheless

Answer 1

Hint: Conjunction is an uninflected function word that serves to conjoin words or phrases or clauses or sentences.

Complete answer:
 Here, ‘veil’ is used to indicate that ‘he’ did very well on the test.
In the given question, we have to find out which of the options indicates a contrast, as even though ‘he’ did not study for it, he did well in the test.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question and find out which option indicates contrast in its definition -
Option (a.), 'consequently', refers to ‘(sentence connectors) because of the reason given’.
Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as it does not indicate contrast.
Option (b.), ‘therefore', refers to ‘(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result’.Therefore, option (b.) is incorrect as it does not indicate contrast.
Option (c.), ‘moreover', refers to ‘in addition’.Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as it does not indicate contrast.
Option (d.), ‘nevertheless', refers to ‘despite anything to the contrary (usually preceding a concession)’.Therefore, option (d.) is correct as it indicates contrast.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall more about conjunction. A conjunction is a grammatical relation between linguistic units (words or phrases or clauses) that are connected by a conjunction.
