What is the difference between a main clause and subordinate clause and a phrase​
labwork [276]

Answer:

A subordinate clause is a clause that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence; it merely complements a sentence's main clause, thereby adding to the whole unit of meaning. Because a subordinate clause is dependent upon a main clause to be meaningful, it is also referred to as a dependent clause.

There was too much noise, so we couldn't hear the speech<br> -&gt; ...
Romashka [77]

Question:

<em />

Combine the sentences correctly using 'so...that':-

<em>There was much noise. I couldn't hear the speech.</em>

<em />

<em>A. There was much noise so I couldn't hear that the speech.</em>

<em>B. There was much noise so that I couldn't hear the speech.</em>

<em>C. There was so much noise that I couldn't hear the speech.</em>

<em>D. So much noise there was that I couldn't hear the speech.</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is C) There was so much noise that I couldn't hear the speech.

Explanation:

Besides the fact that A, B, and D are grammatically incorrect, let us start by looking at the structure of the sentences.

The sentences comprised of two independent clauses:

  1. There was much noise.
  2. I couldn't hear the speech.

But there is something wrong with the first sentence so let's see if any of the "so" or "that" can fix it.

Rules guiding the use of "So"

"So" is an intensity or degree adverb that modifies or qualifies adjectives and other adverbs. For example:

  • <em>You are </em><em>so</em><em> kind</em>
  • <em>She is </em><em>so</em><em> tidy</em>

Given the above, the best places to insert "so" in a sentence would be at the start and before "<em>much</em><em>"</em>.

To use it at the start without violating grammar rules would require a comma immediately after, such that the sentence would read thus:

<em>So, there was much noise.</em>

<em></em>

The sentence above, however, is still incorrect, and here is the reason why.

By adding "so" to "much" we are obeying the rule of "so" as a degree adverb.

Which when used without "much" can be used in sentences this way:

  • He is so intelligent.
  • She is so beautiful.

When combined with "much" it can be used properly right before <em>singular uncountable</em> nouns. In sentence 1 above, the singular uncountable noun there is noise.

Other examples of <em>singular uncountable</em> nouns are:

  • Truth
  • Rain
  • Honey

Now that we have fixed sentence 1, it should read thus:

1. There was <em>so</em><em> much</em> noise.

Let's look at sentence number 2.

"That" is a conjunction. One of its uses is for the connection of two independent clauses.

In summary, the correct form of the sentence after introducing "so" and "that" is:

<em>There was so much noise that I couldn't hear the speech.</em>

Pollution prevention reduces both financial costs (waste management and cleanup) and environmental costs (health problems and environmental damage). Pollution prevention protects the environment by conserving and protecting natural resources while strengthening economic growth through more efficient production in industry and less need for households, businesses and communities to handle waste.

Pollution prevention is a major global concern because of its harmful effects on people's health and the environment. Because we are all inhabitants on Earth, everyone is a stakeholder, and every person has something to contribute to advance effective pollution prevention and awareness. Environmental protection is a natural extension of caring for ourselves, loving our children, and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
