The correct answer is 'but'.
 
Key Points
  • The conjunction "but" is used to join two contrasting ideas in a sentence.
  • In this sentence, the first part states that she went to the shop, and the second part contrasts it by saying she couldn't find anything suitable.
  • Option 1: "and" is incorrect because it is used to add similar ideas, not contrast.
  • Option 2: "since" is incorrect because it indicates a reason, which doesn't fit the context.
  • Option 3: "though" is incorrect because it doesn't work as a conjunction in this particular sentence structure.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
 
Complete Sentence: "She went to the shop but couldn't find anything suitable for her need."
 
Additional Information
  • Option 1: "and" is incorrect because it connects similar ideas, not contrasting ones.
  • Option 2: "since" is incorrect because it shows causation, which is not relevant here.
  • Option 3: "though" is incorrect as it doesn't function as a suitable conjunction in this sentence.
