The company has grown rapidly, ___ it now employs over five hundred people.
答えを見る
正解: A) and
'Grown rapidly, and as a result now employs over 500 people' — the two halves point in the same direction, so the additive 'and' is correct. 'But' is contrastive and doesn't fit content moving in the same direction. 'Or' expresses alternatives, and 'nor' pairs negative items — neither fits the meaning here.
