    Or, and, but, though ?
    Message de jerem027 posté le 08-02-2009 à 20:09:09

    Hello everybody !

    I am doing my homework but I have a problem with the choice between different conjunctions.

    in this sentence :The billing clerk was not able to find the invoice .... the order."

    I have four answers : a) or b) and c) though d) but.
    In this context, I think that the correct answer is "or" but I am not very sure.
    Can you help me ?
    Why are other answers are not correct ?

    thank you very much.

    Hi,
    Yes, you're right. The correct answer is 'or'. Be careful with spelling:
    The Billing clerk was not able to find the invoice or the order.
    Best Wishes

    thank you chrislondon
    I would like to know why other answers are not correct because there are grammaticaly correct. Is it the context ?

    "And" could have perfectly enter in that case but as you said contextually the situation asks for "or" !
