2 This sentence doesn �t sound right to me - Incorrect use of although ??? - eg:
 
Although she works patiently and creatively, Joyce is often frustrated by minor setbacks.
 
Although the work is tedious, Joyce never gets frustrated by minor setbacks.
 
Joyce works patiently and creatively and is never frustrated by minor setbacks.
