Or, and, but, though ?
Message de jerem027 posté le 08-02-2009 à 20:09:09
Hello everybody !

I am doing my homework but I have a problem with the choice between different conjunctions.

in this sentence :The billing clerk was not able to find the invoice .... the order."

I have four answers : a) or b) and c) though d) but.
In this context, I think that the correct answer is "or" but I am not very sure.
Can you help me ?
Why are other answers are not correct ?

thank you very much.

Hi,
Yes, you're right. The correct answer is 'or'. Be careful with spelling:
The Billing clerk was not able to find the invoice or the order.
Best Wishes

I would like to know why other answers are not correct because there are grammaticaly correct. Is it the context ?

"And" could have perfectly enter in that case but as you said contextually the situation asks for "or" !
