Which theme is reflected in this passage?

Which of the following sentences contain an adverb clause?

Jlenok [28]

The correct answer is: [A]:
________________________________________________________
"People will not get ahead if they do not study."
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
Choice: [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study."

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice: [C]: " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1) Adverb clauses are "modifiers".

2) Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.

3) Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider: Choice: [C]:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."

→ Note: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
"Because of the defense driving lessons" ;

→ This is NOT an "adverb clause". An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".

Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:

"Choice: [A]: "People will not get ahead if they do not study."

→ <u>Note</u>: Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
   " if they do not study ."
_______________________________________________________

→ Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
1) This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is: "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people"); AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .

2) This clause modifies "people" .

3) This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus;  this very answer choice: "Answer choice: [A]:
__________________________________________________________
→ "People will not get ahead if they do not study."
__________________________________________________________
→ is the only sentence —
    (among the answer choices provided) —
that:   1)   is an "adverb clause" ; AND:
that: 2)    is the correct answer.
__________________________________________________________

Some archaic language—such as “thy,” “thou,” and “’tis”—can be deciphered through the help of

Helga [31]

Most often, it is deciphered through A) context clues. Some people, however, choose to decipher them through B) pronoun references. Just to be on the safe side, I'd choose A) context clues because most often, the words that are being deciphered are they themselves the pronoun.

English speech under the topic cellphones are a curse<br>

shepuryov [24]

Answer: Middle Paragraph

Explanation:

Whatever their choice, the phone will be just a fraction of the size of the original mobile phone. Mobile phones can be seen as blessing or a curse. They can be seen as a curse by many people because of the potential health risks of being in continuous contact with them and the often large amounts of money they cost. Mobile phone emissions can be a risk to human health if in continuous contact. This has been investigated several times over recent years. Several reports indicate that mobile phones cause no health problems. But, it has been established by many researchers that mobile phones can cause infertility in men and even some types of cancer if a person is in constant contact with a mobile phone. If a mobile phone is kept in a man's pocket at least 5 days a week it has been found that it has caused men to become in fertile due to the thermal radiation that mobile phones give out. It has also been found that tumours have occurred in some people wherever they keep their mobile phone for long periods of time.
