Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Consider the sentence:
"Shruti wanted to work so she went to her room."
The word "so" connects two clauses:
Shruti wanted to work
she went to her room
It shows the result or consequence of the first action and joins the two clauses together. Therefore, "so" functions as a conjunction in this sentence.
Answer: D. Conjunction
