The subject of this question is English and the correct answer is 'G This office closes for holidays, so sometimes it closes for staff meetings.'

In this case, the question is asking which conjunction accurately represents the relationship between the statement about the office closing for holidays and the statement about it closing for staff meetings.

The answer to the question is G This office closes for holidays, so sometimes it closes for staff meetings. This conjunction accurately shows that the office closing for holidays is the reason or cause for it also sometimes closing for staff meetings.

By using the conjunction 'so', the sentence indicates that the office closing for holidays is directly connected to it also closing for staff meetings. This reflects a cause and effect relationship between the two statements.

Answer: J This office closes for holidays, and sometimes it closes for staff meetings.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first option uses the conjunction "for" to combine to two sentences. When you read it out loud, "for sometimes" is not very fluid. This probably isn't our answer.

Staff meetings are not holidays, so option G does not apply because it uses the conjunction "so" to combine the two sentences.

Since the office closes for both holidays and staff meetings, option H does not make sense because it uses the conjunction "or" to combine the two sentences.

This leaves us with our answer, Option J:

"This office closes for holidays, and sometimes it closes for staff meetings."
