Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.

This is the reason ______ I don't attend parties.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. why.

  1. The words so/since/because itself shows the purpose behind something.
  2. So the word ‘reason’ should not be used along with them as the sentence becomes superfluous.
  3. Here conjunction ‘why’ will be used to connect the two clauses of the given sentence.

The correct formation of the given sentence will be-

‘This is the reason why I don’t attend parties’.

So the correct answer is option 1`.
