Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The sentence to complete reads: 'There were a million things that could have gone wrong (_____) Apollo 11 landed safely on the moon.'
Option a: so. Using 'so' here would imply a consequence or result of a previous clause, which doesn't fit the contrastive sense needed between many potential problems and the successful landing.
Option b: or. 'Or' would present an alternative, which is inappropriate in this context where we’re contrasting the numerous possible failures with the actual outcome.
Option c: yet. 'Yet' is used to introduce a contrast or unexpected result, matching the idea that despite many potential problems, the outcome was still positive—the landing occurred.
Therefore, the sentence is best completed with 'yet' to convey the contrast between numerous potential problems and a successful landing.
Why the other options are incorrect:
- 'so' would create a causal or result-reading that doesn’t align with the intended contrastive nuance.
- 'or' would shift the sentence to an alternative choice rather than highlighting an unexpected positive outcome.
In summary, option c (yet) correctly expresses the intended contrast between possible failures and the successful Apollo 11 landing.
