Which description matches conjunctions as given in the material?

• A. Words used to join two parts of a sentence
• B. The action and its objects
• C. Words that describe nouns
• D. Words that describe verbs

Answer: (A)

Conjunctions are the words that connect parts of a sentence, showing how ideas relate to each other. So the correct description is: conjunctions are used to join two parts of a sentence, whether linking two clauses or linking phrases within a sentence. This is their function—to create smooth, connected thoughts. The other descriptions point to different parts of speech that modify or describe words rather than connect ideas: adjectives describe nouns, and adverbs describe verbs (or other adjectives/verbs). Those do not capture the joining role conjunctions have when tying together elements of a sentence.
