Answer (1)
Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: until


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

The conjunction until is appropriate because it conveys the idea that, until that specific day, the narrator had never thought of going into the magic shop. It helps establish a clear time reference in the sentence.

Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is until.
