The underlined phrase for this question is: "fog rolling down the river"

ANSWER: Absolute phrase

An absolute phrase acts as a modifier to a sentence. It is not connected by any conjunctions and it also cannot contain any finite verb (verbs in the past or present tense).

We can see that the underlined phrase meets all of the definition of an absolute phrase. Its verb, rolling, ends in -ing and is therefore a nonfinite verb. The phrase also modifies the entire sentence, adding information about the fog.

Why did writers use formats that were difficult to understand
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The writers feared getting trouble

Explanation:

Writers had to use hard-to-understand formats to put all the statements they wanted without fear of going through trouble. This is because writers often wrote works in which they criticized governments, the nobles or powerful people. These criticisms caused writers to be persecuted and sometimes even arrested and tortured for their aggressive opinions about certain behaviors and actions. Using hard-to-understand formats, criticism sometimes went unnoticed and only noticed by the most curious and intelligent readers. That kept the writers safe.
