Answer 1

Hint: A conjunction is used to join two separate sentences together into one sentence.

Complete step-by-step answer:

We observe that ‘He attended to me himself’ and ‘he was very busy’ are two separate sentences that are merged to form one sentence. From the hint given to us, we know that conjunction is used to join two separate sentences together into one sentence. Thus, the missing word in the sentence given to us is conjunction. We have to find a suitable conjunction for that we shall analyze all the options.
“He attended to me himself but he was very busy” is a grammatically correct sentence but it has no meaning to it. Hence, option A is not the correct answer.
“He attended to me himself even he was very busy” is not a grammatically correct sentence. Hence, option B is not the correct answer.
“He attended to me himself in spite he was very busy” is not a correct sentence as there is no word as ‘inspite’. Hence, option C is not the correct answer.
“He attended to me himself although he was very busy” is a grammatically correct sentence and has a clear meaning to it too Thus, we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

Note: In order to use conjunctions correctly without altering the meaning of the two sentences, we must know their appropriate meanings and contexts.
