Answer 2

Answer:

1.  It was raining heavily so we decided stay at home.

2. Everybody was eager to participate in the charity walk but the manager.

3. I got a seat in the front row for I was really interested in the lecture topic.

4. My brother and I will retire soon and go sailing around the world.

5. He can speak English and Spanish fluently, but his french is not so good.​

Explanation:

1. 'So' conjenction is used here because the clause 'we decided stay at home'  is dependent on the part,'It was raining heavily'.

2. Since the act of everybody's participation in the even is contrasted with the manager's interest, 'but' is used as the conjunction.

3. In the sentence, getting seat in front row is directly related to the interest in the lecture, so 'for' conjunction is used.

4. Both the brother and the narrator of the sentence will be participitating in the same action, so 'and' is used as conjunction.

5. English, Spanish are joined by 'and' because they are described by same adjective, French is joined by 'but' because it is contrasts the main clause'.
