Correct Answer: but


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

Explanation: The sentence sets up a contrast between learning to walk and talk naturally and the different situations associated with the act of reading.

But is a conjunction that signals a contrast or exception, making it the most appropriate choice in this context.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Because is used to indicate a cause or reason.

  • Rather is used to express preference or choice.

  • When refers to a specific time or condition.

Therefore, the correct answer is but.
