Second Assignment of Changing Informal to Formal Sentences

In this post, an assignment practice regarding to change the informal into formal sentences. For further information regarding to the tutorial, it is strongly advised to visit the "changing informal sentences into formal style" post.

For the number one question, will be explained below:

The moment when the German threat was eliminated - permanently or temporarily - coincided with the explosion of the first American nuclear bombs

From this sentence, we could divide the sentence into two clauses, which are based on their verbs. They are (1) coincided and (2) was eliminated

• German threat was eliminated permanently or temporarily (the dependent clause)
• The moment coincided with the explosion of the first American nuclear bombs

The verb that is changed into noun is "was eliminated" into "elimination". So, the formal style becomes:

The moment of elimination of temporal or permanent German threat coincided to the explosion of the first American nuclear bombs

Eventually, this is the formal sentence that has been obtained. Note that, the sentence already has noun phrase and also only one verb. Then, please download the Word File from the GDrive for the homework.
