Answer 1

The correct answer is option B “When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.” (Twain). In this example the phrase "I could remember anything, whether it happened or not" uses the correlative conjunction "whether".

The correct answer is option B “When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it happened or not.” (Twain). Correlative conjunctions are pairs such as either...or, neither...nor, whether...or (not only, but...also). In this example the phrase "I could remember anything, whether it happened or not" uses the correlative conjunction "whether". The other options have different sentence structures.
