Answer 1

Hint: Conjunctions are words that connect two or more words, phrases, or clauses.
Conjunctions allow you to create long, elegant sentences without the choppiness that several short sentences can trigger. Make sure the sentences that are joined by conjunctions are the same length (share the same structure).

Complete answer:
A conjunction is a component of expression that binds sentences, phrases, or clauses that are known as the conjuncts of conjunctions in grammar. Conjunctions that join sentences are usually referred to as discourse markers. Since this meaning can overlap with that of other parts of speech, each language must specify what constitutes a "conjunction." For example, in "he left after the war," "after" is a preposition, but in "he left after they fought," it is a conjunction. A conjunction is a non-inflected, invariable grammatical particle that may or may not stand between the conjoined objects.

Now let us look into the given options:
Option A) So many: This is the correct option. Countable nouns are preceded by so many. Here, we are talking about ‘people’ which is a plural noun. So, we will say ‘so many people
Option B) Too many: This option is incorrect because when referring to the number of things, the phrase "too many" is used for plural nouns but here we are talking about the number of people.
Option C) so much: This option is incorrect because before singular uncountable nouns, the word "so much" is used but ‘people’ is a plural noun.
Option D) too much: this option is incorrect because before singular uncountable nouns, the term "too many" is used but ‘people’ is a plural noun.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Coordinating conjunction such as and, yet, or yet can now be used at the start of a sentence. However, there has been a misconception that English sentences do not begin with conjunctions, or what Follett considered a "supposed law without basis" and a "prejudice lingers from a bygone time" in Modern American Usage.
