Could I pls confirm if the following response to a S&T would be acceptable?
Q: My sister, who is eighteen, is too young to vote during the National Elections. A: My sister (response in quotation marks)"is too young to vote during the National elections as she is eighteen." it does not change the meaning or the tense - but still wondering if it is correct.
Answer given during the class work earlier in the year is : My sister ",who is eighteen, is too young to vote during the National Elections."
Hi, the given response has the same meaning as the stem. It is however not accepted because a connector (as) is added. I would gladly accept the answer since it does not violate any of the rules in S and T. But the markers in national exams think otherwise. So, it's better to be safe than sorry...
A reflective learner learns more effectively. Comment/Reflect on where you have gone wrong and why.
