The statement most accurately describes this excerpt is that it contains two dependent <u>clauses</u> and one independent clause.

<h3>What are dependent and independent clauses? </h3>

An independent clause is the main clause which is the subject and verb as well as complete as the sentence. However, the dependent clause is incomplete and<u> cannot stand alone</u>.

Therefore, "<u>after a strenuous climb</u>" and "<u>night was approaching rapidly</u>" are dependent clauses that become absolute due to the independent clause that is  "hikers decided to make camp before reaching the summit."

  • Top-left: Wealth worship. The landlord is so impressed and intimidated by the bank note that he barely dares to take it.
  • Middle-left: Impending doom. You can tell that the narrator is experiencing a sense of upcoming catastrophe through phrases like "I judged that there as going to be a crash." The situation the narrator is in also involves danger: "I must swim across or drown."
  • Top-right: Rags to riches. Taken literally, this expression means going from the poorest to the wealthiest one possibly can be. But in this context, it is more about 'social riches:' the character goes from being insignificant in the eyes of others, to widely influential.
  • Middle-right: Wealth worship. The landlord is willing to accept any of the narrator's whims simply because he is wealthy, but at the same time, he fears him and his power: "he hoped he wasn't afraid to trust as rich a gentleman as I was."
  • Bottom: Impending doom. The threatening danger here is expressed by the fact that a "thin crust" is all that keeps the narrator from falling into the crater.
