Answer:

The correct answer is the option B.

Explanation:

A dependent clause (or subordinate clause) is one that cannot stand alone as a complete sentence because it does not express a complete thought.The shaded clauses could not stand alone as sentences. This is how a dependent clause differs from an independent clause.

In this question,"Who won the pie eating contest" is the dependent clause.

Compare and contrast:

The poet's choice of form has pros and cons. On the one hand, because none of the sentences in the poem are completed, the paragraph-like structure of the poem could make it easy for the reader to get lost or bored. However, this may still have been a valid artistic choice. After all, the poem is about the "elliptical" of excuses for racism, so maybe it makes sense to have the reader get tired, and associate that weariness with those excuses. In contrast, making the poem have lines and stanzas, rather than a paragraph structure, makes the reader more likely to try to interpret the individual significance of each line, rather than look at what the lines all mean together.

According to “The Chimney Sweeper” by William Blake, what is the cause of Tom’s suffering?

suter [353]

According to "The Chimney Sweeper" by William Blake, the cause of Tom's suffering are harsh working conditions.
When he was just a young boy, his parents practically sold him so that he could start working as a chimney sweeper as soon as he got a little bit older. It is a very dangerous job, and he has to work from early morning, when it tends to get really cold until the very night when they let him rest a bit. Many children die because of these harsh conditions, and Tom is having quite a hard time himself.

How would you adapt the novel into a movie script?

stich3 [128]

First, make a list of the following:
<span>
The world and setting of the story.

The 5–8 main characters of the story including the protagonist and antagonist, what their respective back stories are and why/how they come together.

What 5 things about your main protagonist/antagonist are the most important for an audience to know.

The major core conflict of the story and why/how this occurs.The most visual and key scenes in the book that connect to how that conflict plays out.Your 10–20 FAVORITE lines of dialogue that drive the plot, are vital to the story or character development and that really shine.The major overarching theme of the book.</span>

Be aware that you will probably have to cut many supporting characters, subplots that don’t connect to your main storyline, and almost all of the description. Instead of two pages of character description, you only get two lines. Often, two or three different characters in a novel will be combined into ONE character in a screenplay. And what happens on the first page of the book may not be how you need to open the film. Try to nail the same tone that the original material had—as that is part of what built its fan base and that tone needs to translate on film. But the real key to adapting a book to film or adapting someone’s true story—is FOCUS and knowing how and when to take poetic license.

If you are adapting a true story, it becomes even trickier, but you need to know that changing the timeline of the original story is OK. Your primary job isn’t to be loyal to a book or to another writer or even to the main character—it’s to be loyal to the core story and yourself. You can’t show a whole lifetime on screen (except maybe in Benjamin Button), so you need to choose the most important, interesting, conflict-filled, character-building part of the book or the person’s life—and focus on that to create a tight story.

Or alternatively, if you’re adapting a small personal story, you may need to expand it to fill the screen. All those Nicholas Sparks novels are incredibly small and usually depressing, but the screenplays introduce more conflict and raise the stakes. Though not based on a book, let’s examine Academy Award nominated The Fighter, which was based on a true story. The screenwriters looked at all the material they had—all the characters, all the true things that happened, the time range of the real story—and then wrote what worked. The Amy Adams character wasn’t even in Mickey’s life at the time he won those fights. Many characters were combined and the time period was totally fudged so that the story became more cinematic and engaging but it kept the essence of the characters involved, the story and the emotion of it all.

That’s exactly what your job is when adapting a book or person’s true life story. Much like in life, learning to adapt is often a difficult process but can be one of the keys to success ;)
