In the following sentence

The clams, which he ate, were <span> still fresh.

The main clause is:

</span>The clams..., were <span> still fresh. </span>


The subordinate clause is then "which he ate".

This clause gives more information about The clams, which means it has the function of an adjective: it's an adjective clause.

The <u>main clause</u> in the sentence <em>The clams, which he ate, were still fresh</em> is The clams were still fresh.

The<u> subordinate clause</u>, that is which he ate, is used as an adjective, since it comes after the noun and motifies it. This type of clauses are usually introduced by words like <em>that</em>, <em>when</em>, <em>where</em>, which, etc. and separated by commas whenever it is a non-defining clause.

hoa [83]

Germany and Japan favored military solutions more than the United States did. I think the militaristic nations felt they had more to prove on the world stage. For Germans, rearmament became a point of national pride. For the Japanese, imperialism played a similar role. By contrast, Americans entered World War I reluctantly, and they remained reluctant to enter World War II until the bombing of Pearl Harbor left them with few alternatives.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

This American myth has taken root in classrooms across the country, where children are being encouraged to create their own "quilt codes" and believe fictional stories as if they reflect proven fact.

Explanation:

The idea in sentence 2 states that there was no historical evidence to show that quilts which were hung on clotheslines were in fact used as secret codes by travelers on the Underground Railway and the sentence that develops this idea is the sentence that says that children in schools are encouraged to to create their own quilt codes and stating that they fictional events as if they were real.

Explain homeostasis with an example?
Tanzania [10]
According to Webster Dictionary, Homeostasis is a relatively stable state of equilibrium or a tendency toward such a state between the different but interdependent elements or groups of elements of an organism, population, or group. In simpler words, homeostasis is a period in time where things are relatively balanced and able to adapt to change without causing a lot of problems. I found a few examples involving the human body including body temperature, glucose levels and fluid volume. If you need an extra explanation, I will link the site if examples down below.
