The "....." matters in the context of what you would choose. As written, "... at the workplace, and have made life easier..."

These four choices are kind of lousy. :)

Only "so" and "because" are grammatically correct because they are conjunctions, which is what you need to connect two independent sentences like that above. "So" implies that life is easier at work, therefore life at home is easier; "because" is the reverse, implying that an easier life at home makes for an easier life at work.

"Similarly" and "consequently" are adverbs and cannot connect the sentences by themselves. You need to have a semicolon after "workplace", or start a new sentence. If you do this, using "consequently" has the same meaning as using "so" in the case above.

I think the MEANING makes the most sense with similarly, but again you'd have to use a semicolon or a different choice or words like "just as".

Wow...you need to be a bit more clear. I think that modern telecommunications have made life easier in the workplace because now people can work from home and simply send in their work. Online classes are a great example of how students can now do almost everything from the computer without going to the college campus. Sorry if I didn't answer your question...but there you go!

I don't see how one is a consequence of the other, so I would say it has to be "similarly". However, similarly is not a conjunction, so you need some punctuation: either a period or a semi-colon before "similarly" and a comma after.

If you do think one is a consequence of the other, one of the others will fit:
"Because" if an easier life at home is the cause of an easier life at work, "so" or "consequently" if an easier life at work is the cause of an easier life at home. "Consequently" is also not a conjunction; punctuate as for "similarly".

If I had my own choice, I would say "just as".

"Morphologically?" He ought to intend the style that the verb takes. permit's inspect an occasion sentence: have been I a duck, i might fly out right here speedy. have been right here must be comparable to present day or previous demanding sort. i can basically think of of "have been you a duck? " this is previous demanding. or perhaps he's not speaking approximately this in any respect. or perhaps he skill which you style all different tenses utilising components of the present and previous tenses. So relatively i might say that morphologically is the respond on your question. i think which you had to renowned a particular morphologically such because of the fact the kind of ameliorations. yet that's no longer what you asked in any respect. you in basic terms % the kind of ameliorations. Or do you % the names of all of the tenses and examples of each -- somebody has given you that. i'm questioning there might others which you have no longer heard of yet. i can think of of pluperfect.

Because

"Similarly" is the best fit, as the sentence is comparing the 2 situations.
