Answer (1)
To join the given sentences correctly using subordinating conjunctions, we should look at the relationship between the two clauses in each pair. Here are the detailed solutions:
a) We must wash the dishes b) we eat.
Here, the action of eating needs to happen before the dishes can be washed. The appropriate conjunction is 'after.'
Sentence: We must wash the dishes after we eat.
a) We cannot visit grandmother b) it is raining.
The rain is the reason they cannot visit, so the correct conjunction is 'because.'
Sentence: We cannot visit grandmother because it is raining.
a) She preaches forgiveness b) she goes.
This sentence implies that wherever she is, she preaches forgiveness. The conjunction 'wherever' fits best.
Sentence: She preaches forgiveness wherever she goes.
a) You cannot begin the exam b) the clock strikes 8.00 o'clock.
The exam starts at a specific time, so you should not begin until then. The appropriate conjunction is 'until.'
Sentence: You cannot begin the exam until the clock strikes 8.00 o'clock.
a) He was elected b) he is a great leader.
He was chosen for his position due to his qualities, so the appropriate conjunction is 'because.'
Sentence: He was elected because he is a great leader.
By using these conjunctions, we are able to clearly express the relationship between the two parts of the sentences, whether indicating time, reason, or condition.
