Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate conjunction:

She must complete the registration by Friday, _____ she won't be allowed to participate.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CHSL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (21-Nov-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

or else

The blank needs a conjunction that links a condition with its negative consequence.

The meaning is: complete the registration, otherwise a bad outcome follows (she cannot participate).

'or else' introduces exactly this warning of a consequence, so it fits the logic of the sentence.

Therefore 'or else' is correct, making option 1 the answer.

'unless' would need a different structure ('she won't be allowed to participate unless she completes...') and does not fit here.

'and' merely adds information and fails to convey the conditional warning.

'since' shows cause or time, which is not the relationship intended.

Hence the most appropriate conjunction is or else.

  1. Over the past century, the world has witnessed a remarkable evolution in girls’ education. In many parts of the world, especially during the early 1900s, girls were often denied access to schools or allowed only basic literacy. Deeprooted social norms and economic barriers restricted girls to household roles, and their potential to contribute equally to society remained untapped.

    Gradually, global awareness about gender equality and human rights began to change this scenario. International organisations and local governments worked together to launch initiatives aimed at increasing female literacy rates, building safe schools, and encouraging families to send their daughters to study. Campaigns highlighting the importance of girls’ education brought hope to millions.

    Despite significant progress, challenges still persist in several developing nations, where poverty, early marriage, and cultural resistance continue to keep girls away from classrooms. However, the success stories of educated women who have become leaders, scientists, and change makers inspire others to break barriers. The evolution of girls’ education proves that empowering women through knowledge benefits entire communities and fuels sustainable development.
