Question

Sam drank some water, for he was thirsty.

Answer 1

Sam drank some water because he was thirsty.

Explanation:

• This is a compound sentence.
• A compound sentence is a two clause sentence in which there is one independent clause and the other is a dependent clause.
• The independent clause can exist on its own while the dependent clause can not stand on its own.
• Both the clauses are joined by a coordinating conjunction.
• Here the coordinating conjunction is "because".
