Which words could replace the subordinating conjunction in the sentence while maintaining its original structure? Choose two answers.

and
because
but
since
so

Answer 1

The two words that could replace the subordinating conjunction "now that" in the sentence while maintaining its original structure are "because" and "since."

So the revised sentence could read:

• The faculty was able to teach computer science classes because the school built a new lab.
• The faculty was able to teach computer science classes since the school built a new lab.
