Answer:
first statement best describes the message of the fable.
I looked this question up and found out that the underlined phrase should be "was attending". The answer choices for this question are the following:
A. noun clause
B. verb phrase
C. adjectival phrase
D. adverbial clause
Answer:
The underlined phrase is a:
B. verb phrase
Explanation:
A verb phrase consists of a main verb or of a main verb and the auxiliary or modal verbs that accompany it. Take a look at the examples below:
- Joshua sang beautifully last night. --> verb phrase is "sang"
- Eileen has gone to Ireland. --> verb phrase is "has gone"
Thus, we can easily see that "was attending" is also a verb phrase. The main verb is "attending" and the auxiliary is "was".
The choice that best describes the sentence and explains how to improve it is: This sentence is complete and correct. It does not need any revision. The sentence above is an example of a complex sentence; it contains both an independent clause and a dependent or subordinate clause. The subordinate clause is introduced by the subordinating conjunction "after". After the comma, the independent clause follows to complete the whole thought of the sentence.
Characters affect theme in terms of conflict and dilemma. If a conflict or dilemma of a given story was altered then the story would take a changed path. Therefore, there would be alteration in the actions of the characters which at the same time would transform the plot of the story.
