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.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Although A seems like a great answer as well, D is a statement that only gives  one side of a story. You and I both don't know the man, but the speaker of the sentence has already gotten you and I to think about one thing: The man's lack of intelligence.
