Read the sentences below and answer the following question:

I would be able to attend the party. I could only arrive after the meal.

Which sentence below provides the best sentence variety using subordination?

a.After the meal service, I will arrive because I am attending the party.

b.I would be able to attend the party but only after the meal was served.

c.I would be arriving after the meal was served but was coming nonetheless.

d.While I would be able to attend the party, I could only arrive after the meal.

Respuesta :

The answer to the question above would be that the sentence that provides the best version using subordination is the following one: While I would be able to attend the party, I could only arrive after the meal. That is, the correct option would be D.

In the original sentence, "only" empasizes the fact that the speaker will be able to attend the party after the meal. In the new version,  the conjunction "while" has been introduced to show the contrast between the two ideas.
