English Grammar - Conjunction

Choose the appropriate conjunction for the blank space in the given sentence : My new house isn't ………. finished.


Options:

  1. altogether
  2. all together
  3. just
  4. almost

Right Answer: altogether

‘Altogether’ is a single-word adverb meaning completely, entirely or wholly, and in a negative sentence such as ‘My new house isn’t altogether finished’ it conveys that the work is not quite complete. It must be distinguished from ‘all together’, written as two words, which means all in one place or all at the same time, as in ‘The family sat all together.’ ‘Just’ before ‘finished’ would change the meaning to a very recent completion, and ‘almost’ would produce a double weakening that reverses the intended sense of the negative.
