Answer 1

Answer:

Amy joined the English Club as / because she wanted to increase her circle of friends.

Explanation:

There are several examples for reason clauses started with conjunctions namely as, since, and because. In the given sentence, Amy joined some English club. And to know the reason of joining we need reason clauses. Here ‘as or because’ can be used.  

These two conjunctions would provide same meaning to the sentence. Here the clause is to increase her friends circle. Another conjunction named ‘since’. We can use that too. But we should not use ‘so as to’.
