Answer 1

Answer:3

Explanation:

Answer 2

"But for the rain, we could have had a fabulous picnic." This will be the complete sentence.

• Here, we have to use one of the given words to make the sentence complete and correct.
• The first option, 'for', cannot be used since it will be a repetition. 'For' is already there at the start of the sentence.
• Option 2, 'neither', cannot be used. Since neither is always followed by nor further in the sentence. Here, no such thing has happened.
• Option 3, 'nor', cannot be used. Since similarly, nor requires 'neither' to have been present in the sentence previously. Here, no such thing has happened.
• Option 4, 'but', is correct. The phrase 'but for' means except for or if it were not for.
• Thus, if we use the phrase but for in the sentence, it will be correct.
• It will mean the following. If it were not for the rain, they could have had a fabulous picnic.
• Thus, the answer to this question will be option 4. The complete sentence will be, "But for the rain, we could have had a fabulous picnic."
