Answers

1. She was late so we went without her.

2. As I fired at the tiger, he shook my arm.

3. I am glad because tomorrow is a holiday.

4. He was angry so I said nothing. (Therefore and hence are also possible here, but then we have to separate the two clauses with a full stop or semicolon. He was angry; therefore/hence, I said nothing.)

6. Supposing/if you lose your job, what will you do?

7. He must be punished so long as he does not try.

9. Because he was late he missed the train.
