Answer B: the speaker feels joy at the winner's heaven-sent glory.

 This lyric ode begins by describing the features of the normal, natural man: mere creatures whose time is limited and whose existence is a dream of a shadow. <em>Then starts a big contrast</em>: <em>But</em>. Now the writer is <em>very happy</em> <em>to tell that there is a power </em><em>sent from above,</em><em> which makes man </em><em>blessed and shine with glory.</em>

"who are compassionate" What accurately describes this phrase? verb phrase, noun phrase, adjectival clause, or adverbial clause?
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is adjectival clause.

An adjectival clause is a dependent clause that works to describe a noun in a sentence. It is usually made of a group of words instead of one word only. All the words work together to modify the noun or pronoun.

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but it's not a complete sentence and it can not stand alone.

Adjectival clauses begin with a relative pronoun that connects them to the word they describe. The relative pronouns are: that, where, then, who, which, why etc.

In the clause<em> who are compassionate</em>, the<em> who</em> is the relative pronoun. The clause refers and modifies the noun appearing before in the sentence.
