Question

35 They always leave out food for the cat before/and they leave the house

Answer 1

35. They always leave food for the cat before they leave the house

Answer 2

To ensure the sentence is clear, let's consider two possible options:

Option 1: "They always leave out food for the cat before they leave the house." This means that "they" consistently place food for the cat before departing from the house. It implies that feeding the cat is a regular part of their routine before they go out.

Option 2: "They always leave out food for the cat before and they leave the house." This sentence suggests that leaving out food for the cat is done both before leaving the house and also as part of the act of leaving the house. The "and" here implies a sequence of actions. In this case, leaving food for the cat happens before leaving the house and is possibly repeated as they exit the house.

Both interpretations depend on the intended meaning, and it's worth clarifying which option accurately reflects the context you have in mind.
