Answer 1

Answer:

• Lisa and Susan were debating (a) whether they should bake a chocolate cake or an apple pie for dessert. (b) Though Lisa wanted cake, Susan preferred pie. (c) Both Lisa (d) and Susan wanted to bake cookies.

Explanation:

• 'Whether' is a Subordinate Conjunction here it is used as condition, either a bake chocolate cake or an apple pie.

• 'Though' is one of Sub-ordinator Conjunctions and here it is also used to mean concession or contrast.

• 'Both' is a Indefinite Pronoun.

• 'And' is one of Cumulative Conjunctions. It merely adds one statement or fact to another.

Answer 2

Lisa and Susan were debating (a) whether they should bake a chocolate cake or an apple pie  for dessert.

(b) Though Lisa wanted cake, Susan preferred pie.

c) Both Lisa (d) and Susan wanted to bake cookies.

=========================================================

a) Look at the sentence carefully.  ​’on’ would be correct if the word ‘or’ was not in the sentence. However, since the word ‘or’ is present, the correct option is ‘whether’. Therefore, ‘on’ is incorrect.The sentence is grammatically correct only when ‘whether’ is used.  

b) This sentence brings out the difference between what they want. So, the word ‘though’ is used, to show us what Lisa wants and what Susan prefers. ‘Though’ suggests contrast.

c) This statement shows the similarity between their thoughts. So, the term ‘Both’ is used to refer to Lisa and Susan.

d) The word ‘and’ puts both of them in the same category.
