Question

7 choose the word or words that best complete the following sentence. mr. wilson explains that he wants to find the missing deed ______ he can protect his family’s company. a so that b even though c in conclusion d after

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the logical relationship between the two clauses. The first clause is "he wants to find the missing deed" and the second is "he can protect his family’s company". The purpose of finding the deed is to protect the company, so we need a conjunction that shows purpose.

• Option A: "so that" is used to introduce a purpose clause, meaning "in order that". This fits as finding the deed is done for the purpose of protecting the company.
• Option B: "even though" is used to show a contrast or concession (e.g., "Even though it rained, we went out"), which does not fit here.
• Option C: "in conclusion" is a phrase used to summarize, not a conjunction for purpose, so it's incorrect.
• Option D: "after" is a time - related conjunction (e.g., "I went home after I finished work"), which does not show purpose.

Answer:

A. so that
