    Question

    Identify the grammatically correct form of the given sentence.
    Sentence: He enjoys sweet dishes, but though he doesn’t like to eat chocolate.
    I. He enjoys sweet dishes, but he doesn’t like to eat chocolate.
    II. He enjoys sweet dishes, yet though he doesn’t like to eat chocolate.
    III. Though he enjoys sweet dishes, since he doesn’t like to eat chocolate.

    A.

    Only I is correct

    B.

    Only I and II are correct

    C.

    Only III is correct

    D.

    Only II is correct

    Correct option is A

    The grammatically correct sentence is (a) Only I is correct.
    · I correctly uses "but" to introduce a contrast without redundancy.
    · II incorrectly uses "yet though," both being conjunctions showing contrast, making it redundant.
    · III incorrectly combines "though" (contrast) and "since" (reason), leading to logical inconsistency.
    Grammatical Rule Used:
    · "But" and "yet" are contrast conjunctions; only one should be used, not both together.
    · "Since" shows cause/reason, not contrast.
    Example:
    · Correct: He enjoys music, but he dislikes dancing.
    · Incorrect: He enjoys music, yet though he dislikes dancing.

    Information Booster:
    · Avoid double contrast conjunctions together like "but yet," "though yet," etc., as it leads to redundancy and confusion.
