    Question



    Join the following sentences to make a simple sentence:
    The coffee isn’t too strong. It won’t keep us awake.

    A.

    The coffee isn’t too strong to keep us awake.

    B.

    The coffee isn’t too strong so as to keep us awake.

    C.

    The coffee isn’t too strong so it won’t keep us awake.

    D.

    The coffee isn’t too strong and will not keep us awake.

    Correct option is A


    A simple sentence consists of one independent clause. The structure "too... to" is used to indicate that something does not have enough strength or ability to cause a particular result. Here, "The coffee isn’t too strong to keep us awake" effectively combines both ideas into a single sentence.
    Information Booster:
    · "Too... to" is a common grammatical structure used to show that something is insufficient for an effect.
    · Example: "He was too tired to continue working."
    · It eliminates redundancy and keeps the sentence concise.
    · Simple sentences convey a complete thought with a subject and a predicate.
    · Using "too... to" instead of "so as to" or "so" makes the sentence more natural.
    · It is widely used in both spoken and written English.
    Additional Information:
    · "So as to" is more commonly used in formal writing but is less natural in this context.
    · "So it won’t keep us awake" creates a compound sentence, not a simple one.
    · "And will not keep us awake" also forms a compound sentence rather than a simple one.
