Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Although" is a subordinating conjunction, meaning it comes at the beginning of a dependent clause (a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence.) Beginning the sentence with "extreme" transforms the dependent clause into an independent clause. The auxiliary verb "have" agrees with the subject "conditions."
