Exercise 3. Which of the given conjunctions fits best?
1. I like chicken but not fish.This sentence is drawing a contrast. "But" is the correct coordinating conjunction to join these two nouns together.

2. If it rains on Sunday, I will not be able to drive.The subordinating conjunction is used to introduce the dependent clause "it rains on Sunday." The rain is a conditional situation that will cause the lack of ability to drive.

3. I like both dogs and cats."Both" is a correlative conjunction and must be accompanied by "and."

4. The items are on sale in the local store but not online. Again, a contrast is being drawn here, so the coordinating conjunction "but" is appropriate to explain the relationship between the nouns.

5. Neither my mother nor my father will be able to attend the party on Sunday."Nor" is a correlative conjunction to be used with "neither."6. Carrie didn't know whether her bike would be fixed or if she would have to walk.The situation described here is one in which one thing or the other will happen. The coordinating conjunction "or" must be used.7. Luke was late to the party because his car broke down on the highway.
