Finish this very honest social media bio by choosing the right word.

I really want to be a morning person, _____ my bed is just way too comfortable at 6:00 AM.

The correct answer is but.

We use but to connect two contrasting ideas. The desire to wake up early directly contrasts with the reality of a cozy bed.

• And simply adds information without showing contrast.

• Because would mean the comfortable bed is the reason you want to be a morning person, which contradicts the logic.
