Answer 2

QUESTION:-

Briana will clean the kitchen _____ Edward vacuums the rugs.

• while
• though
• as if
• whereas

ANSWER:-

• Briana will clean the kitchen while Edward vacuums the rugs.

• while is the correct option

EXPLANATION:-

• In the above sentence, while is the correct option because while is a conjunction which is used to refer to the contrast between the phrase and the clause. Here, while refers to 'during the time' or when things happen simultaneously like Briana will clean the kitchen and at the simultaneous time, Edward will vacuum the rugs.

• In the above sentence, though is the wrong option because though is a conjunction which refers 'despite the fact' which does not fit with the phrase and clause in the sentence.

• In the above sentence, As if is the wrong option because as if refers to speaking about an imaginary situation or a situation that may not be true but that is possible or apparent which does not fit with the phrase during the time in the above sentence.

• In the above sentence, whereas is the wrong option because It does not mean the same as while when the sentence refers to time and while does not refer to actions happening simultaneously.
