Choose the correct connective for the following- He is dull ........ people like him. 156. Choose the correct antonym for the word: 'Broad'.

The first part, "He is dull," describes a negative characteristic. The second part, "people like him," describes a positive outcome. These two ideas are contrasting.

• (A) yet: 'Yet' is used to introduce a contrasting idea that is nevertheless true. "He is dull, yet people like him" means that despite being dull, people still like him. This fits the contrasting nature of the two clauses.
• (B) or: 'Or' is used to present alternatives. "He is dull or people like him" does not make logical sense in this context.
• (C) so: 'So' is used to show a consequence or result. "He is dull, so people like him" would imply that people like him because he is dull, which is generally illogical.
• (D) and: 'And' is used to connect similar ideas or add information. "He is dull and people like him" simply states two facts, but it doesn't highlight the contrast between them as effectively as 'yet'.

The most appropriate connective to show the contrast between being dull and being liked is 'yet'.

The final answer is $\boxed{\text{yet}}$
