Answer:
C). Added introductory words or phrases.
Explanation:
Introductory words or phrases are described as the adverbs or interjections that are primarily employed to introduce a sentence in order to establish connectivity between the ideas and ensure a smooth transition.
In the given sentence, 'introductory words or phrases' have been added to revise the sentence. The introductory word 'because' functions to link the two ideas(I studied hard and I did well on the exam') together in a cause-and-effect structure. <u>It converts the first clause('I studied hard') into a 'dependent clause'('Because I studied hard') that is setting the stage for main clause to ensure a smooth transition between ideas and enhance its efficacy</u>. Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Answer:
How long had you owned the flat before you sold it?
My shoes were dirty because I had worked in the garden?
Explanation:
The past perfect tense also known as the pluperfect is used to refer to an action or event that occurred before a specified time in the past. It is formed by combining 'had' with the past participle or past tense of the main verb. In the two sentences above, the correct tenses are;
had you owned, and
had worked.
The events happened before a specific time in the past. For example, The first subject owned a flat in the past, before he sold it. The ownership as well as the sale were both past events.
If the verb in the independent clause is in the present tense, the tense that the verb in the indirect quotation should be is <span>remain in its original tense.
</span>You don't have to shift tenses because it is present in the independent one.
For example:
He says: "I need to wash my hair."
He says that he needs to wash his hair.
You wouldn't say - he says that he needed to wash his hair.
