What does the word reproof mean within the context of this sentence? As for Ben, he was less afraid of a whipping than of his fa

scolding, disapproval, blame, reprimand

Any of these options would work. It is clear here that Ben is not as afraid of the physical punishment his father would dole out for his crime, but rather the verbal punishment. This often comes in the form of a scolding or reprimand. It shows that the father is disapproving of his son's actions, which is confirmed by the last sentence when it describes the father as "very much disturbed."

What is the function of the relative pronoun in the adjective clause? The essay describes the mountain that I climbed.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Hi, the answer would be D - direct object. It cannot be the subject, because the subject of the sentence is "the essay". It isn't object of a preposition, as there is no preposition there. It is not a possessive, and given that this adjectival clause is a part of "the mountain", which is a direct object, it must be a direct object as well.
