Question

Join each of the following pairs of sentences without using ‘and’
A) He passed the examination. He won the scholarship.
B) The referee has arrived. They should get ready for the match.
C) My friend is not a judge. He is not a lawyer.
D) He has high fever. He cannot take part in games.

Answer 1

Hint: A coordinating conjunction connects two or more separate sentences with the aid of a connecting phrase. For, and, not, yet, or, yet, and so on are examples of organising conjunctions. Except for 'and,' we will use those coordinating conjunctions to enter the given sentences.

Complete answer:
Let's look at each alternative separately and see whether we can find out the right answer using the above-mentioned clue.
A) He did well on the test. He was awarded the scholarship: The consequence of the first sentence is the second sentence. As a result, we should combine these two sentences as follows: "He completed the test, then he received the scholarship."
B) The official is on his way. They can plan for the game by doing the following: Following the conduct of the first clause, the second sentence should be preceded. “The referee has come, so they should get ready for the match,” we should combine these two sentences.
C) My friend is not a lawyer. He is not a lawyer: There are two points where this pair of sentences differ. "My friend is neither a lawyer nor a magistrate," we might say as a result.
D) He's had a high fever. He is not permitted to play games here, so the second sentence can come after the first sentence's action. This pair of sentences can be combined as follows: "He has a high fever, but he is unable to participate in sports."

Note: When the dependent clause includes material that is less relevant than the independent clause, we may mix sentences with subordinating conjunctions like since, because, while, and when (main clause).
