• A. And
• B. But
• C. So
• D. Yet

Explanation: The word "yet" introduces a contrast and shows that the initial assumption (that he might be ill) was incorrect. It correctly indicates that the reality was different from the assumption.

5382. Spot the error.I do not care whether he speaks well or not and to have already warned him to practice his speech for the competition.

• A. Whether

• A. If
• B. Would have

Explanation: The use of "nor" is incorrect. In this context, "nor" is not the right conjunction to use with "neither ... nor" or to introduce a contrast. The correct conjunction would be "but" to show contrast.
