Answer:

C. Adverbial clause

Explanation:

The main difference between a clause and a phrase is that while the first one always has at least a subject and a verb, a phrase does not. So, according to this definition, we can discard option A, B, and D.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer because an Adverbial clause includes a verb and acts as an adverb, meaning that it modifies or adds more detail to an adjective, a verb or another adverb. This type of clauses often answers questions such as "Why?", "How?", "When?", "Where?" and "In what circumstances?".

Example (Adverbial clause underlined): <u><em>Before eating her lunch</em></u><em>, she washed her hands.</em>

(When did she wash her hands? Answer: Before eating her lunch. This clause adds information about WHEN an action took place, and it modifies the verb "washed").

DO NOT COPY &amp; PASTE FROM ANOTHER SITE!!! I WILL REPORT!! BEST ANSWER WILL RECEIVE BRAINLIEST!!!
Verizon [17]

Here' the antidote to the Petrarch you just posted. This is far more realistic, wouldn't you say? Just list her qualities.

Let's start with the theme. The theme in the first 12 lines seems to be "How ordinary and plain she is."

Her eyes do not shine as the sun does [at mid day -- something other poets have noted many times about the women they love].

Her lips are not as red as coral. Do look that word up. Can you believe that anything that color would be classified as a deep orange!!??

Dun is sort of a tan color. It is the color of a very light tan. Her breasts are not an outstanding white -- another common analogy used by many poets. They are sort of well in need of a bath is as close as I can come.

I'm sure you get the idea. Most women would cringe at such descriptions. It almost sounds as an insult. We have negated hair, cheeks (not red as roses), the perfume that she uses, her breath (now we are getting personal), her voice (even though modified, perhaps by what she says).

By the end, any woman would be ready to throttle Shakespeare. He spends 12 lines talking about what she is not and spends 2 praising her. Do you believe him? I wouldn't. Not in a million, which does not mean it is not good poetry. It is. The detail is wonderfully covered. What he conveys is masterly done and his hands, mind and heart are not tied in knots. No false  modesty for him. He calls the shot as he sees it.

The volta is in the last two lines where there is a turn of thought. (Volta means turn). The last two lines in Shakespearean Sonnets is the volta. I think that most of his sonnets contain a change in the last 2 lines.

kozerog [31]
D. the disparity between reason and instinct.

One of the primary themes in The Most Dangerous Game is the disparity between reason and instinct. Connell has tried to blur the lines between the two faculties and tried to demonstrate that these faculties of the human mind are not as starkly apart or clear-cut as they are thought to be. He has done this by creating enmity between Genral Zaroff and Rainsford.

A essay agreeing about the American culture being materialistic
Amanda [17]
America is built on the concept of capitalism, which has certainly taken a tole on those within it's government system. Big corporations control our country as we empty our pockets and fill theirs. Our society is no longer what it was intended to be. Our country was founded with the idea of freedom, now we are imprisoned by large corporations that grow bigger every minute. This causes us as individuals to become more materialistic and begin to devalue sentimental things. We have become slaves to our own system.
