After world war 1, why were conditions ripe for social and political change in Russia, but not in the united states
solmaris [256]
Russia’s heavy losses in WWI quickened existing calls for a political revolution against the tsar, as corruption and economic stagnation left millions of Russians in misery. By contrast, America’s economy was booming during the same period, largely due to a system of free enterprise. Political “radicalism” and especially Russian “Bolshevism,” then, were seen as unnecessary and dangerous.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. From now on, when anyone in our ranks who has done some useful work dies, be he
makkiz [27]

The only dependent clause in the passage: <u>who has done some useful work dies.</u>

ANSWER: The underlined dependent clause in the sentences above acts as <u>adjective clause. </u>

An adjective clause always follows the person, place, thing or situation they describe, begins with a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why), or a zero relative and has a verb.

In this case, the dependent clause acts as an adjective clause because it describes the noun in the sentence "Anyone in our ranks", the clause is essential to tell who "anyone in our rank" is. It also begins with a relative pronoun ("who") and has a verb ("is").
