Directions: Select the suitable conjunction to complete the sentence: The…

Solution

The correct answer is "yet".

Reason: "yet" introduces a contrast. The first clause states a difficulty (the street was dark), and the second clause shows an unexpected outcome (she still found her way).

Because both parts are independent clauses, a comma before "yet" is appropriate: the street was dark, yet she slowly found her way.

Why the other choices do not work:

• "because" is wrong because it gives a reason; it would read as if the darkness caused her to find her way, which is not logical.

• "and" is incorrect because it merely adds information and does not show the contrast between difficulty and outcome.

• "so" is inappropriate because it indicates a result; it would imply the darkness caused her to find her way, which is illogical here.
