Question

Gianni forgot to set a timer, so he overcooked his dinner. The conjunction so connects two independent clauses. What type of relationship does it suggest? A: a cause and effect B: an outcome C: a reason D: a choice

Answer 1

The conjunction "so" in the sentence suggests a cause-and-effect relationship. The first clause (Gianni forgot to set a timer) is the cause, and the second clause (he overcooked his dinner) is the effect of that cause. Therefore, the correct answer is A: a cause and effect.
