- I The city administration introducing II

Solution
I) Combined sentence: As the city administration introduced strict traffic regulations to reduce congestion during peak hours, commuters gradually adjusted their travel schedules to avoid delays. This correctly expresses a cause–effect relationship and forms a complete, grammatically sound sentence. II) Combined sentence: The city administration introducing strict traffic regulations…, commuters adjusted their schedules… This is grammatically incorrect because “introducing” forms a participle phrase and does not create a complete clause. III) Combined sentence: Since commuters adjusted their travel schedules…, the administration introduced regulations… This reverses the logical sequence, making the effect appear as the cause.
