Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: 'But'.
Explanation: The two clauses express contrasting ideas—wanting to go to the hill station versus the mother insisting on visiting a historic place. 'But' is the coordinating conjunction that shows this contrast.
Correct sentence: We wanted to go to the hill station, but our mother insisted on going to a historic place.
Why the other choices are incorrect or less suitable:
'Since' indicates cause or reason (because), not contrast, so it does not fit the intended meaning here.
'Although' is a concessive conjunction that can show contrast but typically introduces a subordinate clause; it would require rewording or a comma (e.g., "Although our mother insisted on going to a historic place, we wanted to go to the hill station.") and therefore is not the best fit in the blank as written.
'Hence' means 'therefore' or 'as a result' and expresses consequence, not contrast, so it is inappropriate here.
