What is the function of a conjunction in a sentence?

  1. To refer to a noun

  2. To connect words or clauses

  3. To indicate a location

  4. To denote definiteness

The correct answer is: To connect words or clauses

A conjunction in a sentence serves the function of connecting words or clauses. It is used to join different elements within a sentence, such as connecting two independent clauses (e.g., "I like coffee, but she prefers tea") or joining words (e.g., "bread and butter"). Conjunctions help to clarify the relationship between the different parts of a sentence by indicating how they are related to each other. In contrast, the other options (A, C, and D) do not accurately describe the function of a conjunction.
