- [Instructor] My grandfather
often tries to persuade me that he is still groovy,
but how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy? I actually like the
way that that's written because they're saying,
my grandfather often tries to persuade me that he is still groovy, that means kind of cool for those of you who might be too young to
know what groovy means, but that's a good point. But how groovy can he be if he
still uses this word groovy? So I like that, this but
it's kind of turning the tide on the first part of the sentence. And that's why you would use a but. So I'm leaning toward no change, but let's feel good that we
can rule out the other choices. My grandfather often tries to persuade me that he is still groovy
because how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy. Well because implies that the
grandfather does this thing because of this thing. So because of how groovy can he be that's the reason why
he tries to persuade him or his granddaughter, or his grandson that he's still groovy. No, that doesn't make sense. My grandfather often tries to persuade me that he is still groovy,
meaning how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy. No, that also doesn't make sense because meaning would mean
that there's some type of clarifying that is going on of the first part of the clause and that's not what's going on here. You actually have kind of an opposition to the first clause. It's kind of contradicting
it a little bit. It's like, how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy. And that's why but is a
really good thing there. My grandfather often tries to persuade me that he is still groovy
since how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy. So once again, since
kind of draws a natural cause and effect. Since this this is happening. But it isn't since how groovy can he be if he still uses the word groovy. That's not somehow causing him to persuade his grandchild
that he's still groovy. So this also doesn't feel right at all. I really like this. These two clauses are
kind of in opposition. They're kind of contradicting,
they don't contradict but this second clause
opposes the first one in kind of a fun way. It turns the tide back on
it by using the word groovy in and of itself. So it's actually just a fun sentence. So I'm gonna actually fill in the answer, don't wanna forget filling in your answer.
