Stance in Sentences

Students combine pairs of related clauses into one complete sentence using “few,” “a few,” or “the few.” They must decide whether the idea expresses scarcity or selectiveness, demonstrating understanding through synthesis and reasoning. This exercise encourages complex sentence construction and precise word choice. It enhances students’ ability to combine ideas smoothly while maintaining meaning and tone.
