The subordinate clause here is - "who just finished the marathon". It is an adjective, a part of the subject "the woman who just finished the marathon". That subordinate clause describes the subject in more detail.

Subordinate clause: who just finished the marathon (ADJECTIVE CLAUSE).

A clause is a group of related words that have at least a subject and a verb. It may express a complete thought (independent clause) or it may not (dependent or subordinate clauses).

"who just finished the marathon" is a subordinate clause as it can not stand alone as a full sentence and have a coherent meaning. And it is also an adjective clause because it functions as an adjective: it describes or gives characteristics to the noun "the woman", and begins with a relative pronoun "who" (which is common in subordinate clauses).

den301095 [7]

Answer:

C. It emphasizes a series of points made by the speaker.

Explanation:

A rhetorical question is a literary device which is a statement in the form of a question used to certify a point and does not elicit a reply. This device is used to provide more clarity to the speaker's central idea and emphasize the value points that he wishes to highlight. It is the central question which the speaker wants the readers' focus to shift upon and thus dramatically raises this statement or question to punch up his point and make it stand out completely and persuade the readers as he (the speaker) wants them to spend some time in thoughtful contemplation .

Four comparisons of Horatian and Juvenalian satire, using The R a p e of the Lock and "A Modest Proposal" as your examples for e

padilas [110]

Satire is the use of humor, exaggeration and irony to express human vices or foolishness. It is often used in the political arena or as a way to criticize government policy. There are two main types of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.

Horatian satire is more tolerant and humorous; its main purpose is to amuse. Juvenalian tends to be more serious.

Horatian satire tends to be more witty.

Juvenalian satire focuses on personal anger, and attacks vices such as hypocrisy and corruption.

The language in a Juvenalian satire, while funny, can also be bitter and pessimistic.

Two works that are well-known examples of satire are:

"The R a p e of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. This is an example of Horatian satire. This narrative poem tells the story of a woman who gets a lock of hair stolen from her. However, the story is told as a Greek epic, contrasting the absurdity of the event with its exaggerated style. It is humorous, while slightly critical of the social behaviour of the upper classes.

"A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satire that argues that the problems of Irish poverty would be solved if Irish parents sold their children as food for the rich classes. The language is a lot more poignant and reprobatory, and its hidden message is one of indignation. It is an example of a Juvenalian satire.

Cats make good house pets, although I like snakes better.<br> The main clause is

Sedbober [7]

Cats make good house pets. It's the main idea in the sentence, and it's independent also. The other clause is dependent, so it is not the main clause.
