7. while/since
Explanation
A subordinating conjunction is a word or a group of words that performs different functions in sentences by linking two phrases. These conjunctions usually fit into sentences right before we are about to make an explanatory, opposite or conditional statement. The clause it introduces is a subordinate clause, which requires a main clause in the sentence to make full sense. Given the structure and content of this sentence - "Everyone had to work together to carry the boat", it implies collaboration for a specific task described as difficult due to two mentioned conditions - the size and weight of the boat. Taking all this into consideration, proper subordinating conjunctions that could be used here, could be "while" or "since".- Everyone had to work together to carry the boat while it was very large and heavy.- Everyone had to work together to carry the boat since it was very large and heavy. However, no options were given for this question and thus the appropriate conjunction to use can vary depending on how the sentence is interpreted by individuals.
