New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
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."
