    Question

    Heard melodies are sweet ______ those unheard are sweeter.

    A.

    yet

    B.

    but

    C.

    and

    D.

    for

    Correct option is B

    The correct option to fill in the blank is (b) but.
    Explanation of Correct Answer:
    · The sentence expresses a contrast between two ideas:
    · Heard melodies are sweet
    · Unheard melodies are sweeter
    · “But” is a coordinating conjunction used to show contrast or opposition.
    · Hindi meaning of but: लेकिन
    Example:
    · He is rich but unhappy.
    Why other options are incorrect:
    · (a) yet – also shows contrast but is less direct here.
    · (c) and – joins similar ideas, not contrasting ones.
    · (d) for – used to give reason, not contrast.
