• And
• But

Answer :

The second option but is the correct answer.

I wanted to buy a newspaper, but didn't have enough money.

• The conjunctions 'and' , 'but' and 'so' are coordinating conjunctions.
• These coordinating conjunctions are used in the formation of compound sentence.
• 'And' is a conjunction which joins two words / phrases / clauses or sentences which have equal grammatical ranks.
• 'But' is a conjunction which connects two words / phrases / clauses or sentences which have contrasting meanings.
• 'So' joins sentences which shows the result of the first sentence in the second sentence.
• In the given sentence, the two sentences : " I wanted to buy a newspaper " and " didn't have enough money " have contrasting meanings.
• Hence, we use but in the given blank.
