    Explanation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    This exercise tests a range of fundamental English grammar words that connect ideas and provide context. The answers are chosen based on their grammatical function within the sentences of an informal email about travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The words can be grouped by their function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Conjunctions and Linking Words:<\/strong> These words join clauses and show the relationship between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • although (3)<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0but (6)<\/strong>\u00a0are used to show contrast. The Great Wall was amazing,\u00a0in contrast to<\/em>\u00a0the nightmare journey. The writer expected heat,\u00a0but in contrast,<\/em>\u00a0there were clouds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • because (4)<\/strong>\u00a0gives a reason. They arrived late for the reason that the journey was a nightmare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • so (8)<\/strong>\u00a0shows a result. It was cloudy, and\u00a0as a result<\/em>, they couldn’t see much.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • if (12)<\/strong>\u00a0introduces a conditional clause.\u00a0On the condition that<\/em>\u00a0the writer flies to the city, they hope the recipient can get time off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Prepositions:<\/strong> These small words indicate relationships of time, place, or direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • to (1, 14)<\/strong>\u00a0is used to show purpose (a message\u00a0to say<\/em>\u00a0something) and in infinitive phrases (amazing\u00a0to see<\/em>\u00a0you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • in (2)<\/strong>\u00a0is the correct preposition for arriving in a large place like a city or country.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • for (10)<\/strong>\u00a0is used to express a duration of time (“for three days”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • with (13)<\/strong>\u00a0indicates accompaniment (do things\u00a0with<\/em>\u00a0us).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Pronouns and Other Function Words:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • which (5)<\/strong>\u00a0is a relative pronoun that refers to the entire preceding idea (“it started raining”), adding extra information about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • when (7)<\/strong>\u00a0acts as a conjunction to link the “surprise” to the specific time it occurred: the day they visited the Forbidden City.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • that (11)<\/strong>\u00a0is a pronoun that refers back to the previously mentioned plan (flying to Hong Kong).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • so (9)<\/strong>\u00a0is used here as an intensifier to emphasize the adjective “empty,” conveying surprise. It is stronger and more informal than “very.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
