Question

"Heather enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books, and she belongs to two book clubs. Which option changes the sentence's syntax by adding a dependent clause? a)Because Heather enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books, she belongs to two book clubs. b)Heather belongs to two book clubs; she enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books. c)Heather enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books, so she belongs to two book clubs. d)Heather belongs to two book clubs, as well as reading and discussing all kinds of books."

Answer 1

The option that changes the sentence's syntax by adding a dependent clause is:

a) Because Heather enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books, she belongs to two book clubs.

In this option, the dependent clause "Because Heather enjoys reading and discussing all kinds of books" is added at the beginning of the sentence, making it a complex sentence with an introductory dependent clause.
