Professor Higgins is translating an ancient fantasy manuscript. He needs to find sentences where the conjunction specifically introduces a reason (why something happened), rather than a point in time (when something happened).
Select ALL the sentences that contain an adverb clause of reason.
The correct answers are: Since the dragon refused to brush its teeth, the villagers relocated to the next valley. As the knights were terrified of fire, they brought giant marshmallows to negotiate.
The conjunctions "since" and "as" can be tricky because they have double meanings! They can act as conjunctions of time OR reason.
In the correct sentences, "since" means because and "as" means because. In the incorrect options, "since" refers to a starting point in time (from 1402 until now), and "as" means while or at the exact moment that.
