Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Defining Coordinating Conjunctions:Coordinating conjunctions are words like "and," "but," "or," "nor," "for," "so," and "yet." They connect words, phrases, or clauses of equal grammatical rank.
Option Analysis:
Option A: but - "But" indicates contrast. The sentence implies a cause-and-effect relationship, not a contrast. "Run fast, but get your ticket" suggests running fast *despite* getting a ticket, which is illogical.
Option B: as - "As" can indicate a cause-and-effect relationship, but usually implies simultaneity. "Run fast as get your ticket" doesn't make grammatical sense. It would need to be something like, "Run fast as you get your ticket".
Option C: otherwise - "Otherwise" introduces an alternative consequence. The sentence needs a consequence of *not* running fast, not an alternative. "Run fast, otherwise you won't get your ticket" is grammatically correct, but does not fit the implied meaning of the prompt.
Option D: and - "And" indicates addition or a continuation. The sentence structure implies a cause-and-effect relationship: running fast will lead to getting a ticket. "Run fast and get your ticket" perfectly expresses that relationship - running fast is the action to take to get the ticket.
Correct Answer: Option D (and)
The conjunction "and" appropriately links the two clauses, showing that running fast is the action required to achieve the desired outcome (getting the ticket). The sentence is grammatically correct and logically sound with "and".

Non sense so the choice should be changed or and could be the answer
'But' does not make sense to me.
Had the context been given one would have comprehended it easily. Is it a race contest which requires ticket? If it is so then 'but' would be the better option
The correct option is "but". The phrase "Run fast but get your tickets" means that you should run fast in order to get your tickets, but you should also make sure to get your tickets. "As" means "while" or "at the same time as," "otherwise" means "if not," and "and" is a conjunction that can be used to join two clauses or phrases.
Examples:
1. "Work hard but take breaks"
2. "Exercise regularly but listen to your body"
3. "Save money but treat yourself occasionally"
4. "Be kind but stand up for yourself"
But is non sense in this question

I think And should be the correct Answer.

D is right answer bcz it is gramatically correct
Run fast but get your ticket could be grammatically correct. But it implies that you need a ticket to run.
The following two sentences are more relevant.
Run fast as you get your ticket. ( means: when you get the ticket you must run fast)
Run fast and get your ticket. ( means: Otherwise you ma not get the ticket)
It should be "And"
