Fill in the blank in the given sentence with the correct word.
I was annoyed, __I kept quiet.
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
The two clauses express a contrast: being annoyed would normally make one speak, yet the speaker stayed quiet. 'Still' works as a concessive connector meaning 'nevertheless'. 'Then', 'when', and 'than' do not convey contrast, so 'still' is correct.
