Started early to be on time, but , I was ..late as.... there was a traffic jam.
Explanation:
- The given sentence 'Started early to be on time, but , I was ...... there was a traffic jam.' has two parts of the sentence.
- The conjunction 'but' joins the two fragments of the sentence.
- The first part of the sentence states a particular condition, that of having started early, the word 'but' expresses a contradiction to the earlier condition.
- The word 'but' thus will link two fragments of the sentence in opposition.
- The opposite of the word 'early' is 'late'.
- Hence the blank in the second part of the sentence will be filled by the adverb 'late' followed by the word 'as' .
- 'As' helps in forming the conditional clause ' as there was a traffic jam'.
- Hence the complete sentence is : Started early to be on time, but , I was ..late as.... there was a traffic jam.
