Therefore, your spelling guide is your best bet to ensure that you are not
running afoul of spelling words correctly.
Starting a Statement with “Because”
English students are also often told that “because” should not start a
statement because it is a subordinate conjunction. It is often said that it needs
a clause before it can relate to the one after. However, you can reverse the
position of the clause and you will still be fine.
For example:
We did not visit the cinema yesterday because we were grounded.
Because we were grounded, we did not visit the cinema yesterday.

Answer: B
The new ____ teacher is just too hostile. (A. sceince B. sciene C. science)

nineteen ninety-four
was indeed a memorable year for
football lovers.
Correct: 
The year 
1994
was indeed a memorable year for football lovers.


Correct: 
Nineteen ninety-four
was indeed a memorable year for football
lovers.
Use cardinal numbers (one, two, three) and not ordinal numbers (first,
