This is an essay about the character, Charley Le Grant.


Charley Le Grant is an ambitious and cunning deputy, who one day, decides to earn a bit of extra money by performing a task that would as well satisfy his thirst for adventure. He discusses the idea of collecting and selling oysters on the narrator after taking a glance of a boat full of them running ashore. He later witnessed the discussion between a constable and a pirate crew, arguing over the possession of the oyster trove. Charley learns of the constable, Mr. Taft's plight and notifies the narrator, "I'm going to interview him about that reward".  He volunteers himself and his crew on the quest of retrieving the oysters from the pirates.

Having successfully made a deal, Charley and the narrator use their wits on a plan's design to execute their task. They hire a third member, Nicholas, who aids them in providing knowledge of the pirate island. Having designed the plan, Charley drops his two companions on the island, promising to return later to extract them along with the goods.

After a while, Charley returns to the island and picks up his companions along with a couple of sacks full of oysters. They rowed back home, nimbly dodging gunshots, but manage to fulfill their task triumphantly.

Identify the type of clause or phrase in the sentence below.
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:(C). Subordinate clause.

Explanation:

Subordinate clauses are defined as the clauses that usually begin with a subordinating conjunction and depend on the principal clause to accomplish its meaning. Thus, these clauses primarily function to compliment the meaning of the original meaning of the sentence by adding information to it. As per the question, the type of clause that could be identified in the given sentence would be 'subordinate clause'('As the fireworks roared and exploded overhead') as it begins with the subordinating conjunction 'as' and is dependent on the main clause to accomplish its meaning. However, it is followed by the main clause('Brandon....show') but on the very first note, one can observe the dependent clause. Thus, option C is the correct answer
