Answer 1

Hint: Conjunctions are words used to connect clauses or sentences or to coordinate words in the same clause (e.g. and, but, if ).

Complete step-by-step answer:

Let us go through each of the following sentences in order to mark the correct sentence that qualifies the quality of conjunctions.
Option a Not only did Ram attend the wedding, but his friend, Rahim also did, fits in all the conjunctions in the best possible way that makes a statement clear and understandable.
Option b Ram not only attended the wedding but also his friend, Rahim. If this statement is reread again and again its seems somewhat incomplete and asks for more.
Option c Not only Ram attended the wedding but also his friend, Rahim. This statement too makes it unclear and somewhat sound unclear. After reading it, it seems (did) should have been added in the end.
Option d is invalid.
Option a is the correct option.

Note: Students should have a clear knowledge of the grammar as to which aspects ask for what. They should be well versed with grammatical aspects.
