Respondido em 08/04/2023 20:54:51
Explicação:
Answer: The results achieved were overall good considered the economic context of our country.
Feedback: Nominalizing sentences through turning subordinate clauses into reduced ones is done through the
deletion of the subject of the subordinate clause and the be verb and the transformation of the tense verb in a
participle form. Thus the only option which presents such a case is "The results achieved were overall good
considered the economic context of our country".
