Question

Tanya is extremely polite. We like her.

Options

• Tanya is extremely polite but we like her.

• We like Tanya despite her being extremely polite.

• Tanya’s extremely polite ways make us like her.

• We like Tanya because she is extremely polite.

Answer 1

We like Tanya because she is extremely polite.

Explanation:

This sentence uses the subordinating conjunction “because” to establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the two original statements. It explains why we like Tanya (the effect) by pointing to her politeness (the cause). Options (a) and (b) are logically incorrect because “but” and “despite” suggest a contrast that isn’t there, while (c) is slightly more awkward in structure.
