Zorluk: OrtaSubordination and Coordination

Many early aviators relied on visual landmarks to navigate, often getting lost in poor weather conditions. While the invention of the radio compass in the 1920s allowed pilots to fly blind, yet many traditionalists resisted the new technology, preferring to trust their own eyes.

Which choice best coordinates the two clauses to clarify the relationship between the invention of the radio compass and the pilots' reaction?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. The invention of the radio compass in the 1920s allowed pilots to fly blind, but manyCevap
  3. C
    The invention of the radio compass in the 1920s allowed pilots to fly blind, many
  4. D
    While the invention of the radio compass in the 1920s allowed pilots to fly blind; many

Cevap

The invention of the radio compass in the 1920s allowed pilots to fly blind, but many
The correct option correctly resolves the double conjunction error in the original sentence by establishing two independent clauses connected by a comma and the coordinating conjunction 'but'. This structure successfully communicates the contrast between the capability of the new technology and the reluctance of traditional pilots to use it.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the original sentence structure and identify the relationship between the clauses.
The original sentence contains a subordinating conjunction ('While') at the beginning and a coordinating conjunction ('yet') joining the clauses, which is a double conjunction error.
You cannot use both a subordinating conjunction and a coordinating conjunction to link the same two clauses; one must be removed to establish a grammatically correct relationship.
2
Evaluate the choices for grammatical correctness and correct relationship signaling.
Removing 'While' leaves two independent clauses, which can be correctly joined using the coordinating conjunction 'but' preceded by a comma.
This establishes a clear coordinate relationship of contrast between the clauses without creating a comma splice or sentence fragment.
