Solution
I) Combined sentence: Because the research team conducted extensive field studies over several months, they were able to gather reliable data for their analysis. This correctly shows cause → result and is grammatically correct. II) Combined sentence: The research team conducting extensive field studies…, they were able to gather data… This is incorrect due to a participle construction that does not properly connect to the main clause, making the sentence grammatically weak. III) Combined sentence: The research team conducted extensive field studies over several months; therefore, they were able to gather reliable data for their analysis. “Therefore” independent clause connector, not starter so incorrect.
