Question

We were late for the show_______we didn't take a taxi.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We were late for the show because we didn't take a taxi.​

The sentence requires a conjunction in it to make it appropriate both contextually and grammatically.

Explanation:

• As we know, the most significant function of a conjunction is to connect words, clauses and phrases with each other.
• The major conjunctions are - and, or, but, because, for, if, and when.
• Furthermore, the conjunction 'because' is applied to introduce clauses of cause and reason. It explains the reason of something.
• Example: He did this because he was hungry.
• Consequently, the mentioned sentence contains two clause, one is the result and other is the cause.
• Thus, 'because' is the most suitable conjunction for the given sentence as it describes the cause.

Hence, the complete sentence is: We were late for the show because we didn't take a taxi.​
