Zorluk: OrtaConjunctions and Clause Structure

Which conjunction appropriately fills the blank in the sentence below?

Cevap:The university senate agreed to fund only such interdisciplinary research projects 【as】 align directly with the national development priorities.

Cevap

The correct conjunction to fill the blank is 'as'.
The conjunction 'as' correctly completes the correlative construction 'such... as' when introducing a clause that defines or restricts a specified class of items.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the main clause and identify the correlative antecedent.
The main clause contains the determiner 'such' modifying 'interdisciplinary research projects'.
The inclusion of 'such' sets up a correlative relationship with the upcoming subordinate clause.
2
Determine the required relative connector for the subordinate clause.
The clause introduces a restrictive property defining the category of projects.
In standard formal English, when 'such' introduces a category, it pair correlatively with 'as' (not 'that' or 'which') to introduce the defining clause.
