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.

Hi.
Butoxors [25]

Perhaps take from my answer. Sorry if this isn't good, i'm a bit tired. You can add on and change up the words. I was unsure what was exactly wanted for this.

Answer:

Hello, as the speaker of this, I say the motion is correct. Modern movies are run by acting and scripts, while people are off script and anything could truly happen. Younger people tend to leach from what they see on T.V. and from elders, thus certain movies may give them bad views. Say with common action movies: That would most likely give the person a taste of violence as an answer. Humans can be violent, but are not always fighting like how thrillers and action movies show. People do break out into fights, just not like that. If someone was trying to figure out how some commonly interact and behave from a movie, it wouldn't be a good choice, since that would provide the wrong view. Unless it's a documentary or educational film, modern movies do indeed give a bad model. It is understandable for others to have different opinions on this matter, this is my own. Thank you for your time.

What does the use of imagery convey in these lines from the poem? The neighbors rustle in and out, The doctor drives away. A win
balu736 [363]

Answer: the atmosphere after a death in a house.

This line is from a poem by Emily Dickinson titled "There's been a Death in the Opposite House."

The use of imagery in this line tells us a lot about the events of the poem. The fact that there is a doctor at the location implies that the conflict of the story is somehow related to health. Also, the presence of neighbors and the movement of windows makes us think of a house. Finally, the way the windows are opened and the neighbors rush in and out give the poem a chaotic tone, and imply that the event is a tragic and difficult one.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Zachariah led a mutiny against captain Jaggery because he thought that the captain was a gentleman and trustworthy but he did not turn out to be trustworthy and cheated.

Explanation:

According to Zachariah and Charlotte, captain Jaggery was a trust worthy man. Both of them thought that he was a gentleman and could be trusted very easily. But to their surprise, captain Jaggery turned out to be completely opposite of both of them thought the captain to be.

Captain Jaggery was not a gentleman at all and not at all trust worthy. He had deceived every one and that was the reason why Zachariah had led a mutiny against him and he said that the rebellion was totally justified which was against the captain.
