The subject of the independent clause in the sentence we are analyzing here is "The only people", and the verb is "were", as further explained below.

<h3>What is an independent clause?</h3>

An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate. It conveys a full thought, which means it can be completely understood, without the need for other clauses.

The sentence we are analyzing here contains one independent clause and two subordinate clauses. The problem is that one of those subordinate clauses is placed between the subject and the verb of the independent clause, which makes it a bit confusing:

  • Independent clause: The only people were a few Tarrageishan cannibals.
  • First subordinate clause: who witnessed Duncan's misadventure.
  • Second subordinate clause: who happened to be passing by.

Now that we know which one is the independent clause, we can easily identify its subject and verb:

  • Subject - The only people.
  • Verb - were.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

Llana [10]

In this context Michelle Obama refers to the importance of correct information for the parents. She is not only stating the facts thar certain informations are taking for granted. That  not only is important to read the labels of a product to know how many calories, or sodium it contains. She also refers on how we are all exposed to message that we don´t realize we are receiving, from choosing a meal from a menu, to when we try to get a healthy product in a store. It would probably be a lot easier to reach a can o soda than a bottle of milk, or  a mac and cheese box than a whole wheat pasta. The current marketing is more oriented to unhealthy but highly commercial products , that to the ones people actually need. Parents need to know that, and that is the kind of information that they require.

Write an informative essay that explains the importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success. Your essay
Helga [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

To write my essay I would like to base my ideas on the section of the attached document called "But they Did not Give Up."

Nothing compares to perseverance.

Most people surrender just before getting to the top. Yes, they do their best for a while, and when they are about to get what they want, they surrender.

Even worst, when they try something and it does not work, they surrender. And if somebody criticizes them or judges them, they never try again.

But the great ones, all of them failed in their first, second, even third time. Buy, what they did have in common? Perseverance. They never surrendered.

The importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success is of the utmost importance in our lives. Things are never easy. They require effort, hard work, commitment, and perseverance.

Winston Churchill was no so good at school. But he never gave in, never. And that made him the great leader he was. Nobody believed in Charles Darwin, even his own father. But he never listened to them and he became the great man of science he was. Albert Einstein's family thought he was "subnormal," and see, he became one of the greatest minds of all times.

So the message is clear. No matter if you have talent or not. Work hard, be disciplined, committed, and never, ever give in.
