Question

75. Fill in the blank with appropriate conjunction:

Give me to drink,....................... I shall die of thirst.

• A. lest
• B. yet
• C. unless
• D. else

Answer 1

Answer:

D. else

• "Else" is used to indicate a negative consequence if the first action is not fulfilled.

• The sentence means that if the person is not given something to drink, they will die of thirst.

• "Lest" means to avoid the risk of something happening and would not fit properly here.

• "Unless" means except if, which does not fit the cause-effect relationship in this sentence.

• "Yet" is used to show contrast, which is not the intended meaning here.
