<span>The Declaration of Independence is structured in five fundamental parts: Introduction, the Preamble, the Charge of George III, the Denunciation of the British, and the Conclusion. The Introduction contains statements stating that people have the ability to assume political independence under Natural Law. Followed by the Preamble which contains the summary of the general philosophy of government that justifies a revolution when the government damages natural rights. The Accusation is a list of "repeated insults and usurpations." The Denunciation, speaks of the end of the case of independence. The Conclusion shows that the signatories affirm that there are conditions under which the people must change their government, and it is necessary that the colonies announce their separation and dissolve their ties with the British crown. Firmantes, the first and famous signature in the official version is John Hancock, the president of the Continental Congress. Two future presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, are signatories.</span>
The answer is <em>B: The clause "who as born in Virginia" needs to be set off by</em> <em>commas because it is a nonrestrictive element.</em> This clause is nonrestrictive element because it <em>adds further information</em> about Thomas Jefferson, but it is not essencial to the meaning of the sentence, which means that if it is excluded, the readers will still understand the general meaning of the sentence.<em> It uses commas to separate the additional information. Commas are always used when the word modified by the appositive is a proper noun.</em>
If the question is in what sentence do you see a predicate adjective, then the correct answer is in the first one - Not all deserts are sweltering, where the word <em>sweltering </em>is a predicate adjective.
A predicate adjective is an adjective that can be found following a verb.
