Sentence Connector MCQ Quiz in বাংলা - Objective Question with Answer for Sentence Connector - বিনামূল্যে ডাউনলোড করুন [PDF]

The error is in Option 3, i.e. 'Once the sale'.

'Once' should be replaced by 'After'.

A conjunction should be used here to connect the two clauses so the correct conjunction to be used here is 'After'. 

'Once' is used to demonstrate 'as soon as', whereas 'After' is used to demonstrate 'during the period of time following (an event)'.

The correct answer is option 1

• According to the rule, adjectives always take an article with them, if they(the adjectives) are followed by nouns. 
• So, 'pleasant' will take the indefinite article 'a'
• Hence, the correct sentence will be: It being a pleasant morning, I decided to go out for a walk in the garden.

The words 'few' and 'less' are often confused with each other. The word 'few' means 'not as many' and is used for countable nouns. The word 'less' means 'not as much' and is used for uncountable nouns. Therefore, 'less' can be used for 'water' but fewer i.e. the comparative degree of few should be used for 'glasses for water'. Therefore, the correct word is 'fewer'.

The correct answer is option 3.

Key Points

• To answer this question, let's first understand what each sentence is talking about:
• Sentence l - She had a demanding job that required long hours.
  • This sentence indicates that the subject had a challenging job that involved working for extended periods.
• Sentence ll - Her dedication to her career was unwavering.
  • This sentence conveys the idea that the subject was highly committed to her career, and her commitment remained constant.
• After understanding both the given sentences, we can see that the connection between them lies in the relationship between the demanding job and the unwavering dedication to the career. Both sentences are related to the same subject's professional life and attributes.
• In this context, all three options, "Be that as it may," "Despite having a," and "Nonetheless," can effectively connect the two sentences to create a single coherent sentence. They emphasize perseverance and dedication despite the challenging job, making for a coherent single sentence.
• Therefore, the correct answer is "All 1, 2, and 3."
• The combined sentence could be:
• "She had a demanding job that required long hours; be that as it may, her dedication to her career was unwavering."
• "Despite having a demanding job that required long hours, her dedication to her career was unwavering."
• "She had a demanding job that required long hours; nonetheless, her dedication to her career was unwavering."

The sentence suggests a plan which is being advanced by the Union Ministry of Railways. The plan is of 'installing' the human waste discharge system. The plan is still in process and therefore present continuous tense must be used.

Hence, the correct answer would be 2.

The correct answer is Only 2.

Key Points 

• Connectors are words that demonstrate the connection between ideas in different sentences, paragraphs, or sections.
• In the sentence, it says that I decided to give her a candy-printed dress as she loves candies so much.

• The phrase/connector "Therefore" (1) and "Since" (2) can be used to form a single sentence that implies the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences.

• Correct sentences:
  • "She loves candies so much; therefore, I decided to give her a candy-printed dress."
  • "I decided to give her a candy-printed dress since she loves candies so much."

• "Therefore": This connector is used to indicate a logical consequence or conclusion based on the preceding statement. In this case, the first sentence states that she loves candies so much. The logical consequence or conclusion of this statement is that the speaker decided to give her a candy-printed dress.

• "Since": This connector is used to indicate a causal relationship or reason. In this case, the second sentence provides the reason or cause for the speaker's decision to give her a candy-printed dress. The reason is that she loves candies so much.

• Therefore, both "Therefore" and "Since" can be used to join the two sentences and convey the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences.

Additional Information

• The types of connectors in English are: coordinating conjunctions, correlative conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, conductive adverbs and prepositional phrases.
• 'Yet' is a coordinating conjunction that means ‘nevertheless’. We use it to show contrast and 'yet' often occurs after 'and'.
  • So much greenery and yet so few insects.

Confusion Points

The word "since" is commonly used to represent two distinct concepts: time and cause/reason. The rules for the usage depend on which of these concepts you're conveying.

• In the case of time, "since" signifies a point from the past up until the present. It is used before the start time.
  • Example: "Since 2010, climate change has become a major concern."
• In the case of cause/reason, you can use "since" both at the start or in the middle of a sentence to showcase the reason.
• When used at the beginning, it follows the pattern below:
• "Since [cause/reason/rationale], [action/effect/result]."
  • Example: "Since it was raining, I took my umbrella."
• When used in the middle, it follows the pattern below:
• "[Action/effect/result] since [cause/reason/rationale]."
  • Example: "I took my umbrella since it was raining."
• Note that in both variations the cause or reason precedes the effect or result.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. both 1 and 2.

 Explanation      

• The connectors that can connect both the given sentences and imply the same meaning are both 1 and 2.
  • 'So' is used to give a conclusion or result of something. It is correct as the second sentence is a consequence of the first one.
  • 'Since' is used to give a reason for something. It is an appropriate connector.
• 'Despite' means 'without being affected by; in spite of.'  It is not an appropriate connector.
   

Clearly, both 1 and 2 can be used to join the sentences.​ The sentences will be- 

• She could not earn enough money to buy a house so she went back to live with her mother.
• Since she could not earn enough money to buy a house, she went back to live with her mother.

The correct answer is 'Only (i)'.

Key Points

Out of the given three options, the given sentences can be joined correctly as: 'When Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984, Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister'.

Thus, only option (i) is correct.
