Answers
The suitable sentences formed using the given words are:-
.Please call your grandmother on her birthday otherwise she'll get upset.
(the world 'otherwise' means in a different circumstance, here in case the action is not carried out)
. Her son looks a lot like his father whereas her daughter looks like her.
("whereas" means in contrast to the son, therefore making a comparison here.)
. We enjoyed ourselves, despite the bad weather.
('despite' is a conjunction which means without being affected by the action happening)
. I'm no athlete: furthermore, I'm terrible at sports.
(the conjunction 'furthermore' means in addition to the first sentence, adding more emphasis on the fact)
. Though streaking and tinting one's hair seem trendy nowadays, they have actually been around since ancient times, and are practised in many cultures.
(the conjunction 'though' is synonymous with although, which means irrespective of something)
. I'll phone you if I receive any more information and you can do likewise.
('likewise' means to do the same or something similar)
