Correct Answer: so that


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

  • Here, we would replace " because " with " so that " to correct the sentence.
  • "Because" introduces clauses of cause and reason. It is a subordinating conjunction. This means that the clause it introduces is a subordinate clause, which needs a main clause to make it complete.
  • " So that " is used to talk about purpose. We often use them with modal verbs (can, could, will, etc.).

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "They decided to move to Dehradun so that they could live in a peaceful environment."
