If you are unsure whether a group of words is a clause or phrase, break down the words into the parts of speech to help you decide. If there is a subject and a verb with a predicate, it is a clause. If there is a noun but no verb or a verb but no noun and does not have a predicate, it is a phrase. therefor it is B

The correct sentence is B. A clause has a subject and verb, but a phrase does not because a phrase is just a group of related words.

EXPLANATION:

A clause is divided into two types, dependent and independent:

1. Dependent clause

A dependent clause has one subject and one verb in its group of words, yet it doesn’t have a complete thought in it. A dependent clause might be a sentence of a phrase. The example of the dependent clause is, “When Ray studied English in the school…..”. This sentence has a subject and a verb but it doesn’t have a complete thought in it. “When Ray studied English in the school….. (what happened when Ray studied? The idea is not complete).

2. Independent clause

An independent clause has one subject and one verb in its group of words, and it also has a complete thought. An independent is always a sentence. The example is, “Ray studied in the school.” This sentence has a subject, a verb, and a complete thought. The idea of this sentence is complete. We know the full idea of this sentence.

On the other hand, a phrase is a group of related words that becomes a syntax’ constituent of a sentence. Usually, a phrase occurs within a clause. Yet, it is also possible that a phrase is a clause or has a clause in it. There are three commonly used phrases: noun phrase, prepositional phrase, and participial phrase.

A noun phrase consists of place, people, thing, or modifier such as a grammar lesson. A prepositional phrase consists of preposition, noun, and pronoun such as in the dark woods. The participial phrase consists of verbal ending such as -ed or -ing. The example is knowing what you have done.

Sarah is a local politician running for a seat on the city council. She is preparing a speech she will give tomorrow to a group

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Out of the choices presented, "D. According to the governor, Sarah has never given up on anyone who needs help" seems to be the best option for this scenario. Out of the choices, D is presented with the most credibility being a statement from the governor (and Sarah is running for a seat on the city council).

1. In this passage from "The Brown Chest," Morna notices the brown chest as she looks through items in the main character's barn

mr Goodwill [35]

The narrator possibly refers to himself as an “ogre” because he feels old, large, and clumsy in comparison to his son’s fiancé Morna, who seems to be delicate and full of innocence, hope, and possibilities. Morna views the narrator and the old objects in the chest with awe and curiosity, which is evident from her deep interest in the objects: But the friend was a female, small and exquisite, with fascinating large eyes, the whites white as china, and a way of darting back and forth like a hummingbird, her wings invisible. "Oh," she exclaimed, over this and that, explaining to Gordon in a breathy small voice how this would be useful, and that would fit right in, "Lamps!" she said. "I love lamps." On the other hand, the narrator as a child, was disgusted by and afraid of the old chest and its contents, which to him represented death and decay: The full contents of the chest never came quite clear, perhaps because he didn't want to know. His parents' college diplomas seemed to be under the blankets, and other documents going back still farther, having to do with his grandparents, their marriage, or the marriage of someone beyond even them. There was a folded old piece of paper with drawn-on hearts and designs and words in German. His mother had once tried to explain the paper to him, but he hadn't wanted to listen. A thing so old disgusted him. It is only when his parents are dead and he has had his own family that he understands the worth and significance of all the old treasures his mother saved in the chest, as well as the memories and family history he could discover in its contents.

Identify the purposes of myth found in the story of Arachne

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

The interpretation of the particular circumstance is provided in the subsection below.

Explanation:

Arachne seems to have been a warrior throughout Greek mythology who confronted Athena but was also turned into some kind of spider as more of a result. The myth consists of three main variants. One account seems to have it that she's the child of a shepherd, who has been exceptionally competent in weaving.
It illustrates the strength of gods, as well as the moral implications of wrath. Religious belief becomes the reason, otherwise.
