I need advice on handling one of my questions.
I originally asked for help to identify the subject of the dependent clause in this sentence:
A. Germany adopted a much weaker currency than would otherwise have been the case
I wrongly arrived to the conclusion that "the case" couldn't be subject and offered the following sentence as a counter-example:
B. Germany adopted a much weaker currency than would otherwise have been possible
Now, it turns out I don't have one question but two!
I found myself an answer for sentence A. At the same time, user2619 found an answer for sentence B.
I would like to award the answer to user2619 but I'm thinking whether:
- I should ask user2619 to complete their answer and remove mine,
- or just be pragmatic and leave both answers as they are.
What do you think is best?
