Why&amp;nbsp;was Faith still safe from Mr. Smith&amp;#39;s tricks? Why did you mention illegal occupation of his land here?

&lt;p&gt;In terms of your word choices, I suggest that it&amp;#39;d better to use &amp;quot;because&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;because of the fact that&amp;quot; :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>sentence construction</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/SentenceConstruction/gzrhx/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:20:14 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:525824</guid><dc:creator>Abil</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/SentenceConstruction/gzrhx/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-525824.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Can someone check if there is any mistake in this sentence: &amp;quot;Although Mr. Smith tried to harm him in many different ways, Faith was saved and the illegal occupation of his land could be staved off because of the fact that the administration was somewhat neutral at that time.&amp;quot;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
