Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
I like living here ___________ it's near the shops.

• A. Because
• B. So
• C. But
• D. And

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

The correct answer is Option A.

BECAUSE is used as a conjunction when we express a reason. The reason the speaker lives there is the nearness to the shops.

The remaining options are incorrect because:

SO is used when a reason is expressed first - for e.g. This place is near the shops SO I like living here.

AND is used in meaning of IN ADDITION TO.

BUT is used to express contrast.
