The team members won first place in the contest.The team’s members worked well together, and they won first place in the contest.Because the team’s members worked well together, they won first place in the contest.Being team members, the team worked well by winning first place in the contest.The team’s members won first place in the contest because they worked well together.The team’s members won first place in the contest; they worked well together.
Answer
A
The team’s members worked well together, and they won first place in the contest.
B
Because the team’s members worked well together, they won first place in the contest.
C
Being team members, the team worked well by winning first place in the contest.
D
The team’s members won first place in the contest because they worked well together.
E
The team’s members won first place in the contest; they worked well together.
Explanation
A correctly joins the two ideas with “and.” B and D use “because” to show that working well together led to winning first place, with the cause and result in either order. E correctly joins two complete sentences with a semicolon. C is incorrect because “Being team members” is awkwardly attached to “the team,” and it wrongly suggests that winning first place is how the team worked well.
