1.His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful
Need a preposition in this sentence to connect the dependent clause (his campaign..) to the independent clause (Sir Joseph ....) It could be
After, or since.


2.Since his campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms had been eventually successful

IMO this is correct coz it correctly connects the two clauses and logically as well. "His campaign" preceedes "lending his name to listerine".



3.Because of the eventual success of his campaigning for sanitary conditions in operating rooms

campaigning is wrong. should be campaign


4.His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms being eventually successful

No connector between the dependent clause and indep clause

5.Campaigning, eventually successfully, for conditions to be sanitary in operating rooms

unnecessary fragmentation

OA after some posts.

I have a small basic doubt - "HIS" is posessive.....so can we use "HIS" to refer back to "Sir Joseph Lister"?
