'Garud had asked friends and family but found no takers.'
The underlined word is a/an ___________ .
Answer: D
'But' is a conjunction.
In 'Garud had asked friends and family but found no takers', the word 'but' joins two parts of the sentence, 'had asked friends and family' and 'found no takers', and shows a contrast between them: she asked, yet no one agreed. Words that join words, phrases or clauses are conjunctions, and 'but' is a coordinating conjunction.
It is not a noun or a pronoun, since it names nothing and stands for no noun, and not an interjection, which expresses sudden feeling ('Oh!', 'Alas!').
