Question

Read the passage. Look at the underlined section marked number (17). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’ A) Correct as is. B) The future leader was still a very young man when he joined a war party against the Utes. C) The future leader was still a very young man although he joined a war party against the Utes. D) The future leader was still a very young man; however, he joined a war party against the Utes.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) The future leader was still a very young man although he joined a war party against the Utes. This sentence has an incorrect structure as it uses the conjunction although where it is not necessary. The second part of the sentence is not subordinated to the first part. In other words, the fact that the leader joined the war party does not depend on the fact that he was very young when he did it.  

Answer 2

- Utes
- you said the sentence twice: The future leader was still a very young man; however, he joined a war party against the Utes.
