Discussion
Choose the grammatically correct sentence.
Answer: C
Correct answer: Owing to lack of fuel, many works must close if the strike lasts over the weekend.
Owing to lack of fuel is the reason and is placed at the front, where it governs the whole sentence; the condition then follows the clause it qualifies.
Why the others fail:
- The first option separates owing to lack of fuel from what it explains, and misspells strike.
- The second wedges the reason between the condition and its result.
- Having the strike lasting to the weekend - a participle with no subject, and lasting to is not idiomatic.
