Question

12. He came to school late, __ he met an accident.​

Answer 1

HELLO DEAR,

ANSWER:- He came to school late, since he met an accident.

Since gives the starting point of actions, events or states .It refers to when things began.

We use 'since ' in present perfect tense or past perfect tense.

Example-

I have been waiting since 7 o'clock.

I had been here since 5 o'clock and I am getting tired.

THANKS.

Answer 2

He came to school late, since he met an accident.

• We had to fill up the space by a conjunction. A conjunction is a word that joins two phrases or two sentences.
• "Since" would be a correct choice because it is used to give a reason for the happening of something. Also it is used to refer to a particular time but here it is not to be used in that sense.
• Here the reason that he came to school late was an accident, hence we used the conjunction "since" to fill up the space and complete the sentence.
