I came across this question and was stuck.
The stronger cyclones are called typhoons in Hong Kong, ________ hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.
(A) instead of (B) whereas (C) but (D) the same as
The answer is (C) on the solution sheet.
Is this "but" a preposition or conjunction?
I know you don't put comma before (A) instead of.
But how are (B) and (D) wrong?
If (B) were "whereas they are called", would it be correct?
I originally chose the wrong answer(D) since I thought "The strong cyclones are called typhoons in HK, (which is) the same as hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean." seems right.
Any explanations would be appreciated!
