I believe the correct answer is the third option: Although
most of my friends go to public school.
Subordinate clause is the dependable clause, which
means that it can’t stand alone as it doesn’t express the full information.
These clauses are introduced by the subordinate conjunction or relative pronoun
(although, that, once, until etc.) and a comma. In this case, the subordinate
clause is adverbial clause (has a function of an adverb) “Although most of my
friends go to public school,” which is introduced with the subordinate
conjunction although and divided with a comma from the main clause as it is
inverted.
Answer:
a. It is biased because it reflects an attitude about one of Thomas Young's ideas.
Explanation:
The given excerpt from "The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone" by James Giblin which became the inception for the study of ancient Egyptian history. In his book, Giblin projects the ideas and opinions of Thomas Young in his attempts to decipher the stone's hieroglyphics. Although Giblin believes Young may have contributed valuable information regarding the stone writings, he also believes that Young's ideas are sometimes biased.
Like for instance, in the given excerpt in the question, he mentions one such ideas of Young where he "<em>made a leap of the imagination"</em>. In cases such as this, it is important to find or provide actual proof, rather than depend on <em>"inspired hunches"</em>. Thus, this passage is a biased one as it reflects one of Young's attitudes.
