EXERCISE 6.9

9. The following sentences might be too long for some readers. Refer to the advice in “Choose an Appropriate Sentence Length” under “Structuring Effective Sentences,” and break each sentence into two or more sentences.

  1. If we get the contract, we must be ready by June 1 with the necessary personnel and equipment, so with this in mind a staff meeting, which all group managers are expected to attend, is scheduled for February 12.

  2. Once we get the results of the stress tests on the 125-Z fiberglass mix, we will have a better idea of whether the project is on schedule, because if the mix isn’t suitable we will really have to hurry to find and test a replacement by the Phase 1 deadline.
