Answer 2

Answer:

c) while

My mother called me while I was playing football.

Explanation:

• In English grammar, conjunction denotes a part of speech that connects words, phrases, or clauses that are called the conjuncts of the conjunctions.

• These linker words allow us to form complex, elegant sentences and avoid the choppiness of multiple short sentences.

• A conjunction is a word like and, but, although, because, for, as soon as, while etc. which perform an important function because they join other words and phrases together. Without conjunctions, very, very simple sentences can be constructed.

• Option c. 'While' as time conjunction refers to an event that happened at the same time as another.

• Here, the person "my mother called me" at the time of 'playing football'. Hence this option is correct.

• Option a) 'as soon as' also refers to a period. But, it is used when something happens immediately after some event/occasion/ activity. Thus, option A is incorrect.

• Option b) 'Because' states a reason or purpose, where one action happened due to the cause of other. Since the two actions in the statement are not related through the provided cause, but time (while). Hence option b) is incorrect.

• Option d) 'but' is used to combine two contrasting ideas of the same sense which are deviating here. Thus, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, option c) while is the correct word to be filled in the blank.

i.e. My mother called me while I was playing football.
