Answer 14

Question 15

PDN - qinomic - focus on BECAUSE

Answer 15

I draw your attention to the argument. In the source text, the little key word that signals the presence of an argument is “BUT”. When I rephrase the arugment, I try to put it in the form Affirmation BECAUSE justification. 99% of arguments can be rephrased using PARCE QUE.

Question 16

PDN - qinomic - why implied “because”

Answer 16

Why don’t we see this in the source text? It’s implied. For reasons of style, fluency and to avoid repetition, articulate language makes a lot of ellipsis. But that doesn’t prevent us from understanding. But in the interests of analysis, as in this case, I invite you to reformulate the arguments and explanations with the help of BECAUSE.
