One can deduce that the reason Wilder mentions rain at the beginning of each act is to foreshadow the events that take place in the story. In Act I, we see that Dr. Gibbs asks Howie Newsome, who actually delivers the milk, "Goin' to rain, Howie?".

Answer:

The rain is an indication of what is going to happen later in the play. Two examples of this type of foreshadowing is when Howie Newsome states that he doesn't think the rain will clear up, and when Mrs. Gibbs begs George not to leave because of how bad it is raining.

I just wrote that. Make sure to use your own words or find different events.

identify which part of this sentence is a dependent clause: I laugh whenever my roommate tells a joke.
Reptile [31]
I laugh whenever is a dependent clause. This is because it can't stand alone, it wouldn't make since. My roommate tells a joke can stand by itself and make its own sentence. Therefore I laugh whenever is a dependent clause.  

I hope this helps!

Effectus [21]

My favorite memory is when my father was completing his work Objective by Evaluating the Synthesis of chemical compounds and Modifying them, to create an experiment with Independent and Dependent variables. I had come into his office to work on English homework. I was working on Clauses. When I asked my Dad what he was mumbling about he said that the compounds were Indivisible, and that he needed to Eradicate one of the variables, and that the Eradication of one of the variables was Imperative to how well the experiment went. This is my favorite memory because we got to work together.

P.S you can use this as your own if you'd like.
