Choose the correct conjunction to complete the sentence:
"I wanted to play outside ______ it was raining."

Correct option is C

Solution- The Correct Answer: C. but
But → used to show contrast between two opposite ideas.
(I wanted to play outside, vs. it was raining → contrasting situation).
And → adds similar ideas (not contrast).
So → shows result (not suitable here).
Because → shows reason (doesn’t fit the meaning of contrast).
Correct: I wanted to play outside, but it was raining.
