In your text, the sentence "According to Source E, '...the effective arable area for crops can be increased by constructing a high-rise building with many levels on the same footprint of land'" includes a subordinate clause starting with "According to Source E." This clause provides additional information about the source of the information presented. Now, let's incorporate a concessive clause into your writing to add complexity and sophistication. A concessive clause can be used to introduce a contrasting idea or make a concession in an argument. For example, you could say: "While there may not be enough arable land available, vertical farms offer a promising solution to this challenge." In this sentence, the concessive clause "While there may not be enough arable land available" presents a concession, setting up the main idea that follows. By incorporating concessive clauses like this, you can add depth and complexity to your writing. They allow you to acknowledge opposing viewpoints or challenges while still presenting your main argument or solution. This can make your writing more nuanced and engaging for your readers. As your awareness of the use of complex sentences and the subordinate clause grows, you will start to recognize why some writing sounds better than others. When we look at an accomplished author’s writing, we begin to understand why using the subordinate clause is so effective. As you begin to notice these things when you read, you can replicate what great authors do when you write. I encourage you to edit lines, sentences, and paragraphs in your text. If you are the owner of the document, you can double-click on any sentence or paragraph, edit and update. Keep practicing incorporating different types of subordinate clauses, including concessive clauses, to enhance the sophistication and clarity of your writing.
