If you wanted to replace "For," which option could serve as a potential synonym within the text?

Answer
For the reason that
Given that
Since

The correct answer is: For the reason that

In this context, the word "For" is used to introduce a reason or explanation. Among the provided options, "For the reason that" is the most suitable synonym that can convey a similar meaning. This option maintains the causal relationship implied by the original word "For" and fits well within the text. Option A, "Answer," does not convey the same causal relationship as "For" does in the sentence. Option C, "Given that," implies more of a condition or assumption rather than a reason. Option D, "Since," could work as a synonym in some cases, but "For the reason that" better captures the explanatory nature of the original word in this specific context.
