Q5. Which of the following sentences does not have a coordinating conjunction? *
Ravi and I are classmates.
I was excited so I didn’t want to sleep.
We will go to Jaipur this week or the next.
Rahul was angry because no one played with him.

Answer 1

Among the given options, "Rahul was angry because no one played with him." does not have coordinating conjunction.

• Ravi and I are classmates.
• I was excited so I didn’t want to sleep.
• We will go to Jaipur this week or the next.

In the above three sentences, "and", "so", "or" are coordinate conjunctions.

• Rahul was angry because no one played with him.

In the above sentence, "because" is a subordinate conjunction.

There are three types of conjunctions.

• 1) Coordinate conjunctions. => for, and. nor, but, or, yet, so. (F.A.N.B.O.Y.S)

• 2) Subordinate conjunctions. => after, although, because, as far as, though, unless, until, whenever, while, etc.

• 3) Correlative conjunctions.=> either... or, neither...nor, not only... but also, both... and, whether...or, etc.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Option (d) Rahul was angry because no one played with him.

▪︎The reason why Option (d) is correct is that 'because' is not a coordinating conjunction but a subordinating conjuction.

▪︎Coordinating conjunctions include for, but, nor, and, or, so and yet. Hence, rest of the options have coordinating conjunction and have the use of and, so and or.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option (d).
