Hi ! ;)
Here, we are asked to use the appropriate conjunction. Before doing that we need to know some of them. Some conjunctions used commonly are :-
★ And
★ But
★ So
★ Because
★ For
★ If
★ When, etc.
If two objects are given, then we use <em>and </em><em>.</em><em> </em>If only one object, we commonly use <em>for </em><em>.</em>
