I'm pretty sure it's a dependent clause. Hope this helps!

Hey there!

"as if it had no weight" is an example of a dependent clause.

1. it can not be an independent clause becase it does not make sense by itself. Remember that independent clauses are the one that are able to transmit meaning without any help.

2. There is conjugation, then it's not a phrase. A phrase has neither subject nor verb, it can't form a 'predicate'; in this case, we have a suject "it" and a conjugated verb "had."

4. Parallel structure is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. Example: She likes hiking, attending the rodeo, and taking afternoon naps. As you can see, all the verbs come in the ING form. It does not apply in this example because we do not have that structure.

Finally, we have a dependent clause, which is the correct answer. It is a dependent clause since it is subordinate; it depends on the main clause (the independent one) to be semantically correct, to have a real meaning. The use of "as" marks an exemplification and we are missing the first clause.

Hope this helps.

WHO CAN PLEASE HELP ME WRTIE AN ESSAY ON ARTHRITIS AND EPIGENETICS?

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer and Explanation:

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints. The risk factors of arthritis are family heritage, sex (male or female), age, obesitiy, and previous joint injuries, people with previous joint injuries tend to develop arthiritis at some point.

Epigenetics is the study of biological mechanisms that will switch genes on and off, basically. DNA gives the instructions for various functional proteins to be produced inside the cell. Epigenetics affects how genes are read by cells, and subsequently whether the cells should produce relevant proteins.

In a paragraph of NO LESS THAN 125 words, describe the steps you can take to effectively organize your writing.

Alex777 [14]

You can effectively organize your writing by writing down your main idea, at least five supporting details for the main idea, a conclusion idea, and a hook (eye-catching beginning sentence). Then, you can make a rough draft using the list you made before. Once you finish the rough draft go through and make sure you cover all the points from your list. And then make another draft, this one with more details and explanations than the first draft. From there you can go through your list again and check your capitulation, punctuation, spelling, grammar, and neatness. Then you can start on your final writing. For the final writing you should not have large amounts of information without line breaks and paragraphs. You should also make sure that you have a title, headings, and (optional) pictures or examples, you may also include excerpts from other writings to make your writing more exciting and to keep the attention of your readers.
