On page 30, you were given a task where you need to cross out the inappropriate subordinating conjunction in each sentence. Let"s go through each sentence one by one and identify the correct subordinating conjunction.

1. "I will complete my homework before/after/as soon as I solve this math problem."

The appropriate subordinating conjunction in this sentence is "before." It indicates that completing the homework will happen prior to solving the math problem. The other options, "after" and "as soon as," suggest a sequence of actions that does not match the intended meaning of the sentence.

2. "Before/because/since there were many injuries at the start of the game, the team faced difficulties during the second half."

Here, the correct subordinating conjunction is "since." It implies a cause-effect relationship between the injuries at the start of the game and the team"s difficulties in the second half. The conjunctions "before" and "because" do not convey the same meaning in this context.

3. "Since/although/whenever she turned eighteen, her parents were the ones who selected the university she would enroll in."

In this sentence, the appropriate subordinating conjunction is "when." It indicates that whenever she turned eighteen, her parents had the authority to choose the university for her. The conjunctions "since" and "although" do not accurately represent the intended meaning of the sentence.

4. "The police were contacted although/when/as soon as the community became aware that pedestrians were at risk at the intersection."

The correct subordinating conjunction in this sentence is "when." It signifies a specific time or condition when the police were contacted: when the community became aware of the risk to pedestrians at the intersection. The conjunction "although" does not fit here, as it suggests a contrasting idea rather than a time-based connection.

To summarize, the appropriate subordinating conjunctions for the given sentences are:

1. before
2. since
3. when
4. when

By crossing out the other options, you can ensure that the sentences are grammatically correct and convey the intended meaning.
