Question

Tom got good marks…….. he studied hard.
1) because
2) but.
3) so.
4) then​

Answer 1

Answer: 1. Because

Explanation:

Tom got good marks because he studied hard.

This sentence helps us understand the reason behind why Tom got good marks in the exam.

'Because' introduces cause and reason clauses. A subordinating conjunction, that is. 'Because' a subordinate clause requires a main clause to be complete, the clause it introduces is a subordinate clause. 'Because' is used to indicate or provide a reason. A whole sentence with a separate subject and verb follows it. It connects the cause and effect of something by using subordinate clauses.

Hence the most appropriate answer form the given options is because as it justifies the reason and completes the sentence in a meaningful manner.
