Answer 1

The correct answer is 'and'.

Key Points

The conjunction "and" is used to connect two similar ideas or pieces of information.
In this context, "and" is used to indicate that the Americans have won both gold and silver medals.
Options 1, 3, and 4 are grammatically incorrect in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Complete Sentence: "The Americans have won three gold medals and two silvers in the swimming events."

Additional Information

Option 1: "because" is incorrect because it does not fit the context of listing items.
Option 3: "so" is incorrect because it indicates a cause-and-effect relationship, which is not present here.
Option 4: "neither" is incorrect because it is used to indicate two negative alternatives, which is not the case here.
