Question

the bold word is a \middle swabi\ (subordinating conjunction). does the highlighted comma belong? pumbaa will help the president write a speech, as long as he can get a free tour of the white house. keep the comma remove the comma

Explanation:

In sentences with a subordinating conjunction (SWABI) in the middle, we use a comma only if the first clause is independent and the second clause is dependent, but when the subordinating conjunction introduces a dependent clause that follows an independent clause without a pause - creating a single, smooth sentence - we don't use a comma. Here, "as long as he can get a free tour of the White House" is a dependent clause following the independent clause "Pumbaa will help the president write a speech", and since the subordinating conjunction is in the middle, we remove the comma.

Answer:

Remove the Comma
