    Question

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the highlighted words.
    I am trying to study, if it is impossible with all this noise.

    A.

    that it is impossible

    B.

    but it is impossible

    C.

    while it is impossible

    D.

    unless it is impossible

    Correct option is B

    The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (b) but it is impossible.
    Explanation: The sentence expresses a contrast between effort and difficulty. “But” is the correct coordinating conjunction to show opposition or contrast.
    Correct sentence: I am trying to study, but it is impossible with all this noise.
    Grammatical Rule Used: Use of conjunction “but” to contrast two opposite ideas.
    Example: He wanted to help, but he didn’t know how.
    Other options are incorrect as:
    · (a) “that it is impossible” is grammatically incorrect.
    · (c) “while” implies simultaneity, not contrast.
    · (d) “unless” is used for conditional negatives and doesn't fit here.
