0A- The speaker expects that Jenny will finish, and probably soon. (Otherwise, someone else should start working on the Findlay account.)02br
02br
00C - I personally don't use "as" to mean "because" or "since," but my mother does and it's relatively common, so this seems equally correct to me.0-

1font00Hi,02br
00I've read somewhere that although both "as" and "because" refer to a reason, there's a bit difference between them.02br
02br
00- You use "because" when the reason hasn't been known, and you want it to be emphasized.02br
00- "As" ( or "since": with more formality) is used if the reason has been mentioned previo
