The independent clause is "WE ARE NOT EATING ON THE PATIO" the reason why, is because the second part of the sentence cannot stand on its own, due to the fact it has a because in it. because is a transition word.

Answer:

Your answer would be that the independent clause in the sentence is the following one: "we are not eating on the patio".

Explanation:

The sentence above is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has one independent clause and at least one dependent clause. An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence because it represents a complete thought; it contains a subject and a predicate and does not depend on any other clause to complete its meaning (1). On the contrary, dependent clauses depend on the meain sentence to complete their meaning. 2 cannot stand alone as a sentence because it is a dependent clause. That is why the sentence is grammatically incorrect.

1) We are not eating on the patio

2) *Because it is raining too hard

Answer:

The correct answer is letter B) <u>throw with force</u>.

Explanation:

As we know, denotation refers to the primary, original meaning of a word -- in contrast to connotation, which refers to a secondary meaning evoked in a certain context. By definition, the verb "cast" means to throw something forcefully in a specific direction. In the passage, God is the one throwing his enemies with force into hell. Even if we did not know the meaning of cast, we would have been able to get to that conclusion due to the context surrounding the word. The passage is talking of violent actions such as cutting and crushing. Tossing lightly, releasing into air, or dropping casually, therefore, would greatly contrast with the meaning of the whole paragraph.

The sensory details used to convey images in this excerpt are mainly to do with the grape vines and also the flowers. The grape vines are depicted as "brawny ropes of brown" which conjures up an image of thick strong sinews which spread all over the porch and around the windows and form frames around the windows in "thick bowers" and the flowers in "riotous glory" exhibit wonderful colours and with pleasing textures like the velvety nasturtiums.
