Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0

A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.

Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.

‘... which stepped up the attack’.

a. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the

passage?

b. What is its function?

Answers:

a. It is an adjective/relative clause.

b. It qualifies the noun ‘bees’.

Explanation:

An adjectival clause is a subordinate clause, which begins with a relative pronoun such as "which" in the provided example. Its function is to add details about a noun or pronoun, working as an adjective despite being a phrase and not just one word.

In this example, the word "which" is a relative pronoun that acts as the subject (the bees) and adds details about their actions.
