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.

Which statement best expresses a theme in the poem “love is not all” by Edna St. Vincent Millay A.) Love is more powerful than a
ella [17]

The option is D. Love isn’t as necessary as and shelter is, but love is very important

If we analyze some of the lines of the poem.

..”<em>Love is not all: it is not meat or drink…. </em>

The author clearly states that love is not necessary to survive or to live.

When the author writes:

”<em> love cannot fill the thickened lung with breath, not clean the blood, nor set the fractured bone yet many a men are making friends with death”</em>

again is saying that love is not necessary to live, however, it is important to the way we live or relate with each other.  It is clearly explained that a person can easily live without love. Love is always as an option, a tool, not a vital element in a person's life.
