Fill in the blank with suitable Conjunction: They are going on a vacation _____ they haven't decided the destination.
- a.while
- b.though
- c.when
- d.which
Answer: (B) though
The two clauses stand in contrast (a holiday is planned, yet the destination is not fixed), so the concessive conjunction 'though' is required. 'While' can show contrast but mainly means 'during the time that', 'when' expresses time, and 'which' is a relative pronoun, not a conjunction, so it cannot join these clauses. 'Though', 'although' and 'even though' are interchangeable here; 'though' is the only one that can also be placed at the end of a sentence in informal use (They haven't decided, though).
