    • So

    • And

    • But

    • Because

    Correct Answer
    A. But
    Explanation
    The word "but" is the correct answer because it indicates a contrast or contradiction between two ideas. In this sentence, the first part states that all of her friends were present, implying a positive situation. However, the second part introduces the phrase "she still regretted that her cousin was unable to come," which suggests a negative or disappointing aspect. The word "but" effectively connects these contrasting ideas, emphasizing the regret despite the presence of her friends.

    Correct Answer
    A. Between
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "between" because it indicates the position of the book in relation to both the bed and the wall. If the book had fallen "inside" the bed or "under" the bed, it would not have mentioned the wall. Similarly, if the book had fallen "over" the bed, it would not have mentioned the wall either. "Between" implies that the book is in the space that separates the bed and the wall.

    A. Over
    Explanation
    The word "over" is the correct answer because it indicates that the dogs ran on top of the hills. This suggests that the dogs were running across the hills, without going underneath or through them. The word "inside" does not make sense in this context, as it implies that the dogs were running within the hills rather than on top of them.
