Question

Choose whether the given statement is True or False:
The sentence, We must work hard because no one succeeds without hard work, is the combined form of the simple sentences:

We must work hard. No one succeeds without hard work
where "because" is an illative coordinating conjunction.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Both A and B
  
• D. None of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A compound sentence is made up of independent clauses that can stand on their own as sentences. Illative compound sentences contain independent clauses, where one of them is inferred or concluded from the other. The given sentences can be combined with an Illative conjunction to form a compound sentence, but the combined form mentioned in the question is not compound; it's a complex sentence. 'Because' is not a coordinating conjunction, it is a subordinating conjunction that expresses reason. Hence the statement is False, the sentences require an Illative conjunction, like 'for'. Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect. Option C is incorrect because a statement cannot be true as well as false. Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in B.
