Oh, Land of the sun! I dream of seeing you, now that I find myself so far from you, shopping in a foreign supermarket. Everythin

g is so coldly organized, sterile, functional that I am horrified. I ask myself what the hidden reason is behind this system of shopping. It seems that presenting food products in this manner has the objective of numbing our will and happiness. Upon seeing carrots, corn, lettuce, even cilantro, disguised to appear real even though they’ve been frozen for months, one feels that it’s all part of a big set for an American movie. It’s as if we are part of a huge superproduction in which we act as if we are choosing, buying, and eating these foods, but everything is simulated. In Mexico I am accustomed to going to the market every day, chatting with the merchants, tasting bites of fruit (real fruit) at each stand, running into my neighbors and talking to them among the magical smells and colors that are found only there. I am, essentially, accustomed to life.

Answer:

...a big set for an American movie.

Explanation:

The statement above is related on how meals and vegetables/fruits are packed in the supermarkets. Also in Brazil I used to go to an open free market every Sunday where I can feel myself next to the Nature, taste the fruits and choose each carrot, potato or lettuce. It´s like an old fashion life style.

I cannot identify the subject and verb of the independent clause of this sentence to save my life:
tiny-mole [99]

The subject of the independent clause in the sentence we are analyzing here is "The only people", and the verb is "were", as further explained below.

<h3>What is an independent clause?</h3>

An independent clause is a group of words that has a subject and a predicate. It conveys a full thought, which means it can be completely understood, without the need for other clauses.

The sentence we are analyzing here contains one independent clause and two subordinate clauses. The problem is that one of those subordinate clauses is placed between the subject and the verb of the independent clause, which makes it a bit confusing:

  • Independent clause: The only people were a few Tarrageishan cannibals.
  • First subordinate clause: who witnessed Duncan's misadventure.
  • Second subordinate clause: who happened to be passing by.

Now that we know which one is the independent clause, we can easily identify its subject and verb:

  • Subject - The only people.
  • Verb - were.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.
