Answer 1

The correct answer is 'because'.

Key Points

The conjunction "because" is used to introduce a reason or explanation for the preceding statement.
The sentence suggests that people like him due to his nice and helpful nature, so the correct conjunction is "because."
Options 1, 3, and 4 do not fit logically or grammatically in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "Everybody likes him because he is nice and helpful."

Additional Information

Option 1: "although" is incorrect because it introduces a contrast, which does not apply here.
Option 3: "and" is incorrect because it is used to connect similar ideas, not to explain a reason.
Option 4: "as soon as" is incorrect because it indicates time, not a reason.
