what happens to an idea when you add or remove a conjunction?

1. question 10

f
g
h
j

Explanation:

The original sentence uses "While" to show a contrast between the mother's and father/I's movie preferences. Options F ("Even though my"), G ("Although my"), and H ("Whereas my") all introduce contrast, similar to "While". Option J ("My") just starts a statement without showing contrast, so it's the least acceptable as it changes the intended contrasting relationship.

Answer:

J. My
