Directions: Which conjunction will be the most appropriate to join the following sentences?
You will not succeed. You work harder.
- Aunless
- Bthan
- Cnone of these
- Duntil
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The subordinating conjunction "unless" means except on the condition that or if... not.
When we join the sentences, it creates a logical conditional statement: "You will not succeed unless you work harder" (meaning if you do not work harder, you won't succeed).
Until refers specifically to time constraints, making unless the most appropriate choice for this conditional relationship.
