SSC CHSL 2025 PYQ — Question 4

SSC CHSL - 21 Nov 2025 - Shift 3 • English • Q4

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:

She must complete the registration by Friday, _____ she won’t be allowed to participate.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The conjunction 'or else' is used to introduce the negative consequence that will follow if the action in the first part of the sentence is not performed. In the given sentence, the first clause ('She must complete the registration by Friday') states a necessary condition, and the second clause ('she won't be allowed to participate') states the negative result of failing that condition. 'Or else' effectively connects these two ideas, indicating the consequence of not meeting the requirement.
