English

In this case, the main sentence has an embedded clause at the end:

"<em>I think </em><em>that ’twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon</em><em>.</em>" (embedded clause in bold.)

This embedded sentence is <u>complex</u> as it has one independent clause ("<em>...the white men will be in a fix pretty soon.</em>") and a dependent clause ("<em>...that 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North...</em>")

The main sentence presents a simple syntactic pattern: S.V.O. (Subject-Verb-Object), as it contains a mono-transitive verb ("<em>think</em>") which requires a direct object following it ("<em>that...</em>"). The subject of the sentence is the personal pronoun "<em>I</em>". This S.V.O. pattern is present in sentences much simpler, such as "<em>I think this</em>" or "<em>I like that.</em>"

Read these lines from Fredrick Douglass's speech "What to The Slave Is the Fourth of July?"
juin [17]

Answer: Caused to be a certain nature

Explanation:

If you replace the word “rendered” with “caused to be” the statement still makes sense. A good rephrasing would be:

The sad cries of the many slaves, horrible yesterday, are made worse by the joyous shouts that they hear.
