_ an invoice is paid by cheque, make sure it is deposited as soon as possible.
Correct answer: B. Since
- A. Although
- B. Since
- C. Whenever
- D. Therefore
Explanation
The correct option is Since because it introduces a reason or cause: the invoice is paid by cheque, so it should be deposited promptly. Although introduces a contrast, which is not present here. Whenever implies frequency, which does not fit the context of the sentence. Therefore suggests a consequence, which is not the intended meaning here.
