1 Answer

Step 1: Combining Sentences with "so"

The first sentence pair can be combined as follows: He did not study well, so he failed.

Step 2: Negating a Sentence

The negative form of "A dog bit my friend" is: A dog did not bite my friend.

Step 3: Rewriting with "no sooner...than"

The sentence "As soon as the Sun rises, I wake up" can be rewritten as: No sooner does the Sun rise than I wake up.

Step 4: Identifying the Clause

In the sentence "This is the school where I teach," the underlined clause "where I teach" is an adjectival clause (or relative clause) because it modifies the noun "school".

Step 5: Combining Sentences with a Noun Clause

The sentence pair "I am sure of it. He will come today." can be combined as: I am sure that he will come today. The clause "that he will come today" is a noun clause acting as the object of the verb "am sure".

Step 6: Rewriting with "so...that"

The sentence "They were too slow to win the race" can be rewritten as: They were so slow that they could not win the race.

Final Answer

i. He did not study well, so he failed.
ii. A dog did not bite my friend.
iii. No sooner does the Sun rise than I wake up.
iv. Adjectival clause.
v. I am sure that he will come today.
