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.

Poem: bag of bone
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

A. As the speaker turns from mourning murder victims  to accusing their executioner, the poem focuses on  the injustice of the dictator's rule.

Explanation:

 

<u> A. is the right answer. Around line 30 of the poem the shift occurs, the poet talks about the dictator as the murderer and points finger at him as the unjust ruler and tyrant</u>. The author is explaining how it is the dictator’s fault that millions are dead and how he also has “the heart and the skull”, and so does the audience that claps and supports him, but which can become the victim as well.

B. is not the right answer. The poem does not explore the experiences of survivors' feelings of guilt.

C. is not the right answer. The poem does not call people to action against the dictator.

D. is not the right answer. There is no part about securing closure for certain, and the poem ends ambiguously.
