  3. C

  4. D

Cevap

The correct option is the original phrasing, which correctly connects the dependent introductory clause to the main independent clause using a subordinating conjunction and a comma.
The original phrasing correctly employs the subordinating conjunction 'Although' to set up a dependent contrast clause, which is then properly separated from the main independent clause by a comma. This creates a grammatically correct complex sentence that expresses a clear logical relationship.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the relationship between the two clauses: the initial skepticism from doctors and the eventual global standard status.
The relationship is concessive, meaning the second fact occurred despite the first fact.
Determining the logical relationship helps choose the correct transition or conjunction.
2
Check the grammatical status of the clauses to be joined.
The clause 'Although her method was initially met with skepticism by some doctors' is dependent because of the subordinating conjunction 'Although'. The clause 'it quickly became the global standard' is independent.
Identifying clause types is necessary to determine the correct punctuation and sentence structure.
3
Evaluate the punctuation rules for joining a dependent introductory clause and an independent main clause.
An introductory dependent clause must be followed by a comma before the main clause begins.
This prevents run-on sentences, comma splices, and sentence fragments.
