Answer:
Based on the context clues, the character feels sad.
Explanation:
A context clue can be defined as a piece of information given by the author that can help the reader understand something.
In the excerpt we are studying here, it is possible to find some information that leads us to believe the character is sad. If the author had only described the girl staring out the window at the other children playing a game, we wouldn't be able to conclude enough. She could be tired, sad... She could even be excited about it.
The author, however, tells us she's asking herself if she will ever play with them and how they can be friends. If she is watching the other kids while feeling left out, she is most likely sad. The other options do not seem to match these context clues.
Answer:
Based upon this excerpt it seems as if Emperor Qian Long feels his culture is quite different and maybe even superior to the English culture so much so that an English envoy sent to learn about Emperor Qian Long's culture would be there in vain. This is so because he states that his culture is so different that even if the envoy is "able to acquire the rudiments," there are intricacies such as manners and customs that give the rudiments meaning, and customs and manners could never be transplanted. As such, it would be pointless to even to begin to try acquire or even learn about Emperor Qian Long's culture.
A subordinate clause is the one which cannot exist outside of the main, full, complete clause, it cannot exist on its own.
