This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Minutes later, wild bees in their murderous thousands attacked the young performer, and quickly covered his whole body. He fell and with him the bees, which stepped up to attack. At first, the spectators assumed that this was another magical act.
‘... which stepped up the attack’.
a. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the
passage?
b. What is its function?
Answers:
a. It is an adjective/relative clause.
b. It qualifies the noun ‘bees’.
Explanation:
An adjectival clause is a subordinate clause, which begins with a relative pronoun such as "which" in the provided example. Its function is to add details about a noun or pronoun, working as an adjective despite being a phrase and not just one word.
In this example, the word "which" is a relative pronoun that acts as the subject (the bees) and adds details about their actions.

Answer:
compound-complex
Explanation:
A compound-compex sentence is one that comprises more than one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. As you may already know, the dependent clauses are those that cannot send a message on their own, as they need a complement to make sense. The independent clauses, however, are the clauses that manage to send messages on their own.
In the question aciam we have an example of compound-compex sentence. That's because "Belle is a competitive horseback rider" is an independent clause, "she will be competing in the next World Equestrian Games" is more of an independent clause, while "which are held every four years" is a dependent clause.
Answer:
The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.
Explanation:
From the text we know that the children already acknowledge the poor storytelling abilities of their aunt and thus do not expect much from the story.
Despite the boring nature of the story, the aunt does try to lacklusterly include a moral, but the moral is completely ignored by the children who notice instead the many faults of the story.
