Placing an adverb clause after a linking verb is a good way to start a definition. true or false?

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

In grammar, a linking verb is a type of verb that does not express an action but connects the subject to the complement to describe it or explaining, this includes verbs such as "be", "seem" or look. On the other hand, an adverbial clause refers to a set of words that modifies or describes how something is, which means it works as an adverb that describes the mode, frequency, place, timer or degree in which action takes places. This type of clause is useful for describing how something occurs, especially an action. But not to describe how something is or looks, which is the purpose of a definition. Also, adverbial phrases are not usually placed after linking verbs because these verbs do not express action and therefore an adverb cannot be used.

Considering this, it can be concluded placing an adverb clause after a linking verb is not a good way to start a definition, not only because adverbs are not commonly placed after this type of verbs, but because adverbs clauses show how something occurs but not the way something is, which is the information you need to place first on a definition.

Answer:

The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:

B. which

Explanation:

We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.

We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:

- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)

- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl.
Stella [2.4K]
I think it’s “All day we unpacked boxes, filled cupboards” because the first one doesn’t have anything to do with determination, the second one doesn’t fit determination either, and the last one doesn’t fit either. The third one fits because doing something ALL day would be determination I’m pretty sure.
