A subordinate clause: also called a dependent clause: will begin with a subordinate conjunction or a relative pronoun and will contain both a subject and a verb. This combination of words will not form a complete sentence. It will instead make a reader want additional information to finish the thought.

The measure of disorder in a system is its __________.

Burka [1]

I believe the best answer for this question is "entropy." Entropy is a scientific term referring to thermodynamics. It measures both the order and the disorder of a system. Order, or disorder, are both defined by how close the system is to equilibrium. Hope this helps. Also, keep in mind to ask questions in the proper category - this would be most suited to science, rather than English. Thanks.

This question is incomplete. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

In this exercise, note what noun or pronoun in the second sentence either repeats or refers to a noun in the first sentence. Then turn the second sentence into an adjective clause beginning with who or whom and use it to modify the noun in the first sentence.

EXAMPLE: Baxter had no plans for celebrating his 21st birthday.

He had a tall, muscular body and dark curly hair.

SOLUTION: Baxter, who had a tall muscular body and dark curly hair, had no plans for celebrating his 21st birthday.

1. So Baxter decided to let his best friend Max fix him up with a blind date.

Max had a taste for long-legged, romantic women.

2. Max spent a great deal of time calling 976 "party line" numbers.

Bax had known him for 15 years.

3. While talking on the line about a week before, Max had spoken with a young woman.

He thought she would be the ideal date for Baxter.

9. Baxter grew impatient after watching nine single women walk in.

The women caused his heart to palpitate.

10. Finally, his Cinderella wiggled through the door.

Cinderella sent his senses roaring with her purple leather mini-dress.

Answer:

1. So Baxter decided to let his best friend Max, who had a taste for long-legged, romantic women, fix him up with a blind date.

2. Max, whom Bax had known for 15 years, spent a great deal of time calling 976 “party line” numbers.

3. While talking on the line about a week before, Max had spoken with a young woman, whom he thought would be the ideal date for Baxter.

4. The woman, who referred to herself as Cinderella, said that she would be happy to meet Baxter, whom the woman called her Prince Charming.

5. So Max arranged for Bax, who was incredibly nervous, to meet Cinderella the following Wednesday.

6. Max drove Bax, who did not have a car, to the meeting place, a local Denny’s.

7. Max literally had to shovel Bax, whom three 75-year-old ladies roaming around the parking lot pinched, into the restaurant.

8. Bax, who had been twisting his burgundy bow tie for hours, sat down on the yellow vinyl couch near the door.

10. Finally, his Cinderella, who sent his senses roaring with her purple leather mini-dress, wiggled through the door.

Explanation:

A dependent adjective clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb. It functions in a similar way to adjectives, offering further information about something that was mentioned in another sentence. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, whom, which, or that.

Both "who" and "whom" can only be used to refer to people. But it is important to notice that "who" functions as a subject, while "whom" functions as the object of a verb or preposition. Let's take a look at two of the answers for comparison:

1. So Baxter decided to let his best friend Max, who had a taste for long-legged, romantic women, fix him up with a blind date. - "Who" refers to Max. Max had a taste for long-legged women. "Who" is the subject.

2. Max, whom Bax had known for 15 years, spent a great deal of time calling 976 “party line” numbers. - "Whom" refers to Max. But the subject is Bax. Bax had known Max for 15 years. "Whom" is the object.

"Editha" by William Dean Howells is a story about characters who ritualistically follow the popular beliefs and norms of society

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;

Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.

Editha, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.

The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.

The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
