Hi there, [이름]! Thanks for your composition! I would like to explain the previous homework. I wanted to tell you in class, unfortunately, you have a new teacher. I hope you can check this for you to understand the explanation. The first one is #4. It is possible to use \'as\', however, our instruction for the homework is to use each choice just once. We can use either \'as\' or \'for\' because both of them may mean \'because\', but we have to use \'as\' for #5. As for #5, the answer is \'as\' because we use it to explain two things happening at the same time, but the first action was interrupted by the second one. We use \'while\' to introduce two things happening at the same time, but there is no interruption caused by the second action. Therefore, the answer is \'as\' for #5 and \'while\' for #6. I hope this explanation answered your query. Take care and have a good day! T. JanE ^^ 1. ___though___ he studied hard, he failed the test.
