Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution
The correct answer is "or".
Why:
"but" introduces contrast between ideas and does not express an alternative time.
"nor" continues a negative construction (often after "neither") and means "and not," so it does not fit here.
"or" links alternatives or possibilities and correctly completes the idiom "sooner or later."
"if" introduces a conditional clause and does not express an alternative time.
Complete sentence: Sooner or later, the truth comes to light.
