Zorluk: OrtaSubordination and Coordination

When her husband, the chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, fell ill in 1872, Emily Warren Roebling assumed day-to-day management of the project. She lacked formal engineering training, however, her rapid mastery of mathematics and materials science enabled her to direct the construction of the massive suspension bridge to its successful completion. She served as the bridge's liaison to trustees and contractors for over a decade.

Which choice most effectively coordinates the clauses to create a grammatically correct sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. Although she lacked formal engineering training, her rapid mastery of mathematics and materials scienceCevap
  3. C
    She lacked formal engineering training; because her rapid mastery of mathematics and materials science
  4. D
    She lacked formal engineering training, and since her rapid mastery of mathematics and materials science

Cevap

Although she lacked formal engineering training, her rapid mastery of mathematics and materials science
The correct answer correctly subordinates the first clause using 'Although,' which makes it a dependent clause that modifies the main independent clause that follows. This creates a complex sentence that is grammatically correct and logically coherent.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two clauses: the first clause describes her lack of formal training, and the second describes how her quick learning enabled her to finish the project. This is a relationship of contrast.
A subordinating conjunction indicating contrast is needed.
Understanding logical relationships guides the choice of correct transitions or conjunctions.
2
Check the punctuation and structure of each option to avoid comma splices and sentence fragments.
Using a subordinating conjunction makes the first clause dependent, allowing a comma to correctly connect it to the main independent clause.
Correct coordination and subordination are essential for proper sentence structure.
