Explanation:
A phrase is a group of words that express a concept and is used as a unit within a sentence. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional, and absolute
A clause is any noun phrase plus a verb; they can be sentences, but they don't always have to be.
Example: He is sleeping on the bed. The first part of the sentence “He is sleeping” is a clause because it has a subject and a verb. On the other hand, the remaining part of sentence, 'on the bed' is a phrase because it lacks both the subject and the verb.
The answer is C the use of the word cowardly to describe the other soldier shows that his actions where the opposite.
I think that the phrase "sporting proposition" means a game of chance.
It was used in this dialogue:
<span>"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call `a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection." (1.96)

When you say "sport" is infers a chance of winning and losing. There is no sure outcome.
In the above lines, hunting has become a sure deal and it does not invigorate nor inspire the hunters to do better.
