The conjunction "and" signals a connection between two actions or pieces of information. In this case, it is indicating that both of these actions (hanging the cage by his bed at night and hanging it outside during the day) are being performed by the subject of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is "a connection".

The conjunction "but" is used to indicate a contrasting idea between the first part of the sentence ("Only one pumpkin grew from the plant") and the second part of the sentence ("it soon became the largest pumpkin anyone had ever seen"). It is telling us that despite there being only one pumpkin that grew from the plant, it managed to become the largest pumpkin ever seen. Therefore, the correct answer is "a contrasting idea" or "outcome".
