Choose the most appropriate option to complete the given sentence:-
The meeting was cancelled ____ unforeseen circumstances.
Options:
due to
from
because
since to
Correct Answer:
due to
Explanation:
The correct answer is Option (1) → due to
Due to is a prepositional phrase meaning "because of" or "owing to." It correctly introduces the noun phrase ("unforeseen circumstances") that explains the reason for the cancellation.
Because is a conjunction and must be followed by a clause (a subject and a verb), not just a noun phrase. (e.g., "because there were unforeseen circumstances").
From and since to do not grammatically fit the context of expressing a reason for an action.
