Easy

Choose the correct option after joining the given sentences.

I wanted to go for a walk. It started raining.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The two ideas contrast: the desire to walk was thwarted by rain, so the coordinating conjunction 'but' joins them naturally. 'While' and 'so' wrongly imply simultaneity or consequence, and 'lest' means 'for fear that', which does not fit.
