Question

Convert the following sentence to a complex sentence containing an adverb clause:
The match being over, the spectators went home.

• A. As the match was over, the spectators went home.
• B. The match was over and the spectators went home.
• C. The match was over but the spectators went home.
• D. The match having got over, the spectators went home.

Answer 1

The correct option is A As the match was over, the spectators went home.

To create a complex sentence, the subordinate noun clause"the match was over" must be introduced with subordinating conjunctions like "as". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal or use coordinating conjunctions, hence, incorrect.
