This question is based on the following sentence: Either you must stop eating my food from the refrigerator or you must pay me for it. What sort of conjunction is used in the sentence?
a. Subordinating
b. Correlative
c. Common
d. Coordinating

Respuesta :

The correct answer is b. Correlative. A correlative conjunction means that the conjunction used is more than one word, and that these words are related. In this case, the correlative conjunction is "either/or." You can tell they're related, because you can't have the sentence read correctly with just one of these words. Another example of a correlative conjunction would be the negative of this pair: neither/nor.
