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.

Species interactions within ecological webs include four main types of two-way interactions: mutualism, commensalism, competition, and predation (which includes herbivory and parasitism).

Which two themes are evident in Robert Frost’s poem “The Road not Taken”?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The path of tradition is the most trusted path.

Choices play a key role in shaping your life.

Explanation:

These are the two themes that are expressed in the poem. Frost tells us that the path of tradition is the most trusted one, because we learn that this is the path most people take. The path is more travelled, and easy to see. We also learn that choices play a key role in shaping your life because Frost tells us that the fact that he chose the road that was less travelled by "has made all the difference."

Please write in complete sentences.<br><br> (Theme- a lesson or message in the story)
Travka [436]

1.  Don't be greedy, and selfish. It can backfire.

2. Mr.Dog asked for some pizza, and Mr.Pig declined, even though he was already stuffed. Mr.Pig had to pay the consequences of being greedy and not sharing the pizza with Mr.Dog. Mr.Pig was weighed down by all the food he ate, because he didn't share with Mr.Dog. Mr.Dog and Mr.Pig switched situations when Mr.Pig got caught by the hunter. Mr.Dog now has food for himself.
