Answer 1

Answer:

(a) When (b) Whenever

(c) Wherever (d) Because

Ans: (d) Whenever. The sentence begins with ‘I make it a point’ which indicates that the action performed by the individual is a regular one or occurs after intervals. So, the conjunction which we use is option b) whenever which indicates a repetitive event or occurrence.

‘When’ is used in a one-time event and so option a) is wrong. Option c)wherever is a subordinating conjunction which indicates place and not time as is required by the sentence. option d) because is incorrect as it is used to show a cause-effect scenario.
