SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 5

SSC CHSL - 15 Nov 2025 - Shift 2 • English • Q5

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:
He has a lot of potential, ____ his lack of discipline may hinder his growth.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct conjunction is 'albeit' because it means 'although' or 'even though'. It is used to introduce a clause that provides a contrast or concession to the main statement. In this sentence, the two clauses present contrasting ideas: having a lot of potential versus a lack of discipline hindering growth. 'Albeit' effectively connects these two opposing points.

'Whereas' is used to make a direct comparison between two things.

'Unless' means 'if not' and introduces a condition.

'Because' indicates a cause-and-effect relationship.
