Subordination in grammar refers to the process by which we link two clauses inside a sentence making one dependent on the other. It's constructed by a main<u> or independent clause, and a subordinated clause</u> that is attached to it by an adverb or an adjective.
Here are a few examples:
"While Bobby was in school, his dad prepared lunch in the house" (adverbial subordinate clause)
"All the pets jumped around with joy when Bobby got back home" (adverbial subordinate clause)
"Bobby, who was the best student, always got to pick dessert" (adjectival subordinate clause)
"They lived in his grandma's house, which she had built with her own hands" (adjectival subordinate clause)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
keeps the engine of the ship moving.
Explanation:
The lines "Steam was our handmaid and our servant flame" was said by John Masefield in regard to a ship. Steam is considered as an important factor that keeps the engine of the ship moving. Though it lies inside and cannot be seen outwardly on the exterior of the ship, it is what makes the ship working and moving.
Similarly, the speaker compares the steam to a handmaid who also works and maintains a house from inside. It is like a flame/feul that burns inside just like a home aid who works inside the house.
