Solutions:

S1. Ans.(b)

Sol. In the given question, there is a negative cause and effect relationship between the two actions: studying well and failing. If someone does not study well, he or she will fail. When we are given a context where such a relationship exists between the actions, the most appropriate conjunction to be used is ‘or’. Or is a conjunction used to link alternatives.

E.g., It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose – it’s taking part that’s important.
