_ to fulfill his contract, he will have to submit his sketches by Friday.
Correct answer: D. In order to
- A. Although
- B. Since
- C. In order
- D. In order to
Explanation
The phrase 'In order to' is used to express the purpose or necessity of an action. In this sentence, submitting sketches by Friday is a requirement to fulfill the contract. 'Although' suggests contrast, 'Since' indicates causation, and 'In order' without 'to' is incomplete, making them unsuitable choices.
