1. She succeeded ______ her good work.
- A. because
- B. because
- C. because
- D. because
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The correct word to complete the sentence is "because of". The complete sentence is: "She succeeded because of her good work." This is because "because of" is a prepositional phrase that is followed by a noun phrase, which in this case is "her good work".
- Because of: Use "because of" when you want to show that a noun phrase is the reason for something.
- Example: "She succeeded because of her good work".
- Because: Use "because" when you want to introduce a clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb) that explains the reason.
- Example: "She succeeded because she worked hard".
