Teacher: In this task you are given a sentence with one coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so). You must judge whether the order of two coordinated clausal conjoints have been inverted or not. Inversion would result in the sentence sounding unnatural. Label the instances as "Original" or "Inversion" based on your judgment.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
He knew it , and he deserved no answer .
Solution: Inversion
Reason: "He knew it" and "he deserved no answer" have been inverted.

Now, solve this instance: Christians are new to our land , but already it 's hard to imagine a time when they weren 't here .
Student:
Original
