7. Puja has been coughing and sneezing since morning
how?
in question 1, if we say I met Venket and i did not meet his sister, it will not make much sense as the 2 are referring to different situations. even if we add 'or' it will not make any sense. but adding 'but' makes sense. so but is the correct answer.
in question 2, We have one holiday this week I can't remember if it is on Thursday ____ Friday.
if we add but or and it won't make sense as in the sentence we are not sure. by adding 'or' we can specify that it can be Thursday or Friday.
if we apply this same method for all questions we can get the correct answer.
