although
after
Answers
The correct answer to the following sentence is after.
After the crop is harvested (cut), it is sold in the market.
The word after in the sentence is used as a preposition because it is placed in the sentence before the noun. A preposition is always pre-positioned before the noun by definition.
Answer:
The correct option is 'after'. And, the correct sentence is “After the crop is harvested, it is sold in the market"
Explanation:
The first option of ‘if' cannot be applied in the sentence because it signifies a condition in which the crops may or may not be harvested. But, in this sentence, it is clear that the crops had already been cut. That’s why the usage of ‘if' is not correct.
The second option ‘although’ suggests that the crops are harvested but, it cannot be used in this sentence because, its usage would be grammatically inappropriate.
The third option fulfills both the criteria, it suggests that the crops are already harvested and its usage is also grammatically correct. Therefore the correct option would be ‘after’ and the correct sentence would be “After the crops are harvested it is sold in the market”
