Complete the following sentence with correct subordinating conjunction:-

'You can only play outside _____ your father gets home.'

  • A.Whereas
  • B.Until
  • C.In case
  • D.Because

Answer: B

The correct conjunction is Until: 'You can only play outside until your father gets home.'

Until is a subordinating conjunction of time meaning 'up to the time when'. Permission to play lasts up to the father's arrival, which is exactly what the sentence intends.

Whereas introduces a contrast, in case a precaution ('take an umbrella in case it rains') and because a reason. None of them sets a time limit, so each produces a sentence that does not make sense.
