D. Sir Lancelot rides by on his horse.
Lady Shalott was a lady living all alone in a tower near Camelot. She's cursed and she didn't know what the curse was. She must only weave images on her loom reflected from her mirror the busy life of the people in Camelot. But she didn't look directly down there.
Until one day, she saw Sir Lancelot riding by on his horse down to Camelot. She was fascinated by the knight's face, so she stopped weaving and looked directly down at Camelot to where he was heading. Because of this incident, the mirror cracked from one side to the other, bringing about the curse.
The main cause is the appearance of Sir Lancelot to the lady's eyes because that causes her to stop weaving and to look directly down Camelot which therefore causes the mirror to crack. The cracking of the mirror is only a sign that the curse has taken effect not the cause.
Answer:
The dependent clauses in each sentence are:
1. because it lets me imagine other worlds
2. Even though some people dislike reading
3. that I read
Explanation:
A dependent or subordinate clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not convey a complete meaning. That is why it is called dependent: it needs the main clause to add the necessary information for it to make sense. Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions, such as "because", "even though", "unless", "although", etc. Relative clauses, which are a type of dependent clause, begin with relative pronouns, such as "that", "which", or "who".
Having that in mind, we can easily choose the dependent clauses in each sentence by identifying the subordinating and relative conjunctions in them:
1. because it lets me imagine other worlds
2. Even though some people dislike reading
3. that I read
Hey, don’t be lonely, there are several people always here for you.
