The most accurate way to describe the excerpt is, it is a dependent clause.

The dependent clause does not express a complete meaning of a sentence. it includes a subject and a verb. These clauses include adjective clauses, adverb clauses, and noun clauses.

In the above sentence, "since our priority was to identify the origin of the alien’s signal."

It contains adverbial clause.

An adverbial clause begins with the subordinating conjunction such as if, although, because and so forth.

In it, 'since' is subordinating conjunction and 'our priority' is an adverbial clause.

It is a dependent clause.

A clause is a group of related words that have at least a subject and a verb, which may be dependent (also called subordinated) or independent. When it is dependent, the clause can not stand on its own because it does not express a complete thought, therefore it should always be part of a larger clause.

The excerpt is made up of two dependent clauses "At the beginning of the mission" and "since our priority was to identify the origin of the alien’s signal". Neither of the clauses expresses a complete thought (Something is missing!), thus, they do not make sense at all.

Arrange the following facts as if you were going to write an inverted pyramid style news story. Remember: an inverted pyramid li

Free_Kalibri [48]

The inverted pyramid is a metaphor used by journalists and other writers to illustrate how information should be prioritized and structured in a text (e.g., a news report). It is a common method for writing news stories (and has adaptability to other kinds of texts, e.g., blogs and editorial columns). This is the best way to understand the basics about a news report. It is widely taught to mass communication and journalism students, and is systematically used in Anglophone media.The "inverted" or upside-down "pyramid" can be thought of as a simple triangle with one side drawn horizontally at the top and the body pointing down. The widest part at the top represents the most substantial, interesting, and important information the writer means to convey, illustrating that this kind of material should head the article, while the tapering lower portion illustrates that other material should follow in order of diminishing importance.
