Everything at once
Short connected scenarios that use Konjunktiv I, nominal style, conditions, passive alternatives and participial phrases together.

nominal style — a whole clause compressed
Das lässt sich klären, sofern beide Seiten Zahlen vorlegen.
a passive alternative plus a stated condition
die im Bericht genannten Probleme
a participial phrase, where English would use a relative clause
