Given below are sentences that use discourse markers/expressions to make them complete. Identify the most appropriate discourse marker/expression and mark your answer accordingly in the Answer Sheet:
__________, the committee is of the opinion that all academic matters will be discussed in the Executive Body Meeting.
__________, the committee is of the opinion that all academic matters will be discussed in the Executive Body Meeting.
Options
- AHence
- BBut
- CLater
- DAlthough
Correct answer
A. Hence
Step-by-step solution
The sentence requires a discourse marker that indicates a conclusion or a consequence of preceding discussions. 'Hence' is an adverb used to indicate a consequence or a conclusion, making it the most appropriate choice to begin the sentence. 'But' is a coordinating conjunction and is less formal when used with a comma at the beginning of a sentence. 'Later' conflicts with the present tense 'is'. 'Although' is a subordinating conjunction that requires a dependent clause, which is absent here.
Answer: Hence
Answer: Hence
