Minutes later, wild bees in their murderous thousands attacked the young performer, and quickly covered his whole body. He fell and with him the bees, which stepped up to attack. At first, the spectators assumed that this was another magical act.
‘... which stepped up the attack’.
a. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the
passage?
b. What is its function?
Answers:
a. It is an adjective/relative clause.
b. It qualifies the noun ‘bees’.
Explanation:
An adjectival clause is a subordinate clause, which begins with a relative pronoun such as "which" in the provided example. Its function is to add details about a noun or pronoun, working as an adjective despite being a phrase and not just one word.
In this example, the word "which" is a relative pronoun that acts as the subject (the bees) and adds details about their actions.
Answer: Murder.
The Misfit was sent to jail for murder.
Explanation:
Flannery O'Connor's short story <em>"A Good Man is Hard to Find"</em> is about a family's road trip, goth stories of the American South told by "the grandmother" and the family ending up killed by the Misfit, a murderer the grandma had read about in the newspaper.
The Misfit is a curious character. He was jailed before for having murdered his father, but he didn't seem to attach too much importance to it. He is an outlaw and someone who showed no mercy killing people, but he often wondered about God and divine justice. He even carried a conversation about religion and spirituality with "the grandmother" before killing her.
<span>A. Tell God it was all her fault.
Eve is willing to take the entire blame for betraying God. She says that the punishment should fall on only her, sine she sinned against God and Adam, and Adam only sinned against God because of her. She says she will "importune Heaven", meaning beg to God to lift the punishment from Adam. </span>
