both parties read the same Bible and pray to the same God, the prayers of both could not be answered. A. Because B. Before C. Since D. While

A. Because

Explanation:

BECAUSE both parties read the same Bible and pray to the same God, the prayers of both could not be answered.

The word ‘because’ is the answer because it is most suited when used in the introduction of two clauses. It is also a subordinate conjunction which can assume different positions correctly in a sentence.

In this case it helps in the introduction of the clauses ‘both parties read the same Bible and pray to the same God’ and ‘ the prayers of both could not be answered‘ . This application of ‘because’ helps it to give the reason as to why an event occurred.
