Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
A conjunction is a word that joins words, phrases, or clauses. Common conjunctions include and, but, or, because, although, while, yet, etc.
Let us examine the options:
A. She is awfully busy. → No conjunction is present.
B. I am nobody for you. → No conjunction is present.
C. She is poor but she is by nature hospitable. → The word "but" joins two contrasting clauses, so it is a conjunction.
D. My grandfather is not well. → No conjunction is present.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. She is poor but she is by nature hospitable.
