Answer:
According to legend, Paris, while he was still a shepherd, was chosen by Zeus to determine which of three goddesses was the most beautiful. Rejecting bribes of kingly power from Hera and military might from Athena, he chose Aphrodite and accepted her bribe to help him win the most beautiful woman alive.
B.) Verb phrase
The verb phrase usually follows the subject and tells you what the subject is doing. The phrase "was attending" tells you what the president of the company is doing. The verb phrase contains the action verb "attending" and the helping verb "was". A noun clause is a dependent clause that acts as a noun. An adjectival phrase describes a noun such as "the mandatory sales" describes the type of meeting. An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb.
