Fill Blanks

Question:

Choose the correct option to fill in the blanks in the sentence:-

I promise that I will prepare tea for you _____ we reach our place.

Options:

before

as soon as

while

on

Correct Answer:

as soon as

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → as soon as

The connector as soon as means immediately after something happens. It logically links the action of preparing tea with the preceding action of reaching the place, implying that the tea preparation will start right away upon arrival, which fits the promise being made.

  • before: Implies preparing tea prior to reaching the destination, which is impractical. (Incorrect)

  • while: Implies preparing tea during the time they are reaching the place, which is impossible if they are traveling. (Incorrect)

  • on: While "on arrival" is possible, the sentence structure requires a conjunction like "as soon as" to link the two clauses. (Incorrect)
