Identify the word italicized adverb clauses modifies
daser333 [38]

The correct answer is option B.

Adverb clauses modify a verb, another adverb or an adjective. They are introduced by subordinate conjunctions such as "although," "as," "if," "than," "until" and "while."

In the example, the adverb clause (as... as) is modifying the adjective it sorrounds.

Option A, "Andrea", is a noun, so it cannot be modified by an adverb clause.

Even though adverb clauses can modify verbs such as "know", alternative C is not possible either because it is clear that the adverb clause (as... as) holds within an adjective to modify.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

B). It creates a tone of frustration.

Explanation:

Repetition is one of the most commonly employed literary technique that involves repetition of certain words, phrases, or ideas with the chief aim to reinforce it more effectively. Such device assists the author to clarify a particular idea and make it more notable and memorable.

In the given excerpt taken from the poem 'Escape', the repetition of word 'you' leads to 'create a tone of frustration' that reflects the author's attitude to 'escape' from the present infuriating situation(relentlessly 'waiting for..opportunity..jump into you...try..help you.fix you..ask you...why?'). Thus, the author adopts an attitude towards getting away from this obscure situation. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
