Chloe is frantically texting her best friend about the absolute tragedy of her ruined prom dress.
Select ALL the sentences that correctly use an adverb clause of reason without any grammatical errors.
The correct answers are: I am crying because my cat slept on my silk dress. Since my cat completely ruined the fabric, I have nothing to wear.
Adverb clauses of reason must start with a subordinating conjunction (like because, since, or as) and be followed by a complete clause (a subject and a verb).
"Because of" and "due to" are prepositions. They must be followed by a noun phrase (e.g., because of my cat), not a full clause with a verb like "ruined".
