C. Folks were struggling to survive in most places, but in California they had jobs, it has the conjunction word “but”.
Answer:
Absolute
Prepositional
Participial
Explanation:
A subordinate CLAUSE (not phrase) contains a subject and verb, is introduced by a conjunction, and supports the main clause.
An absolute phrase combines a noun and a participle. (e.g. shining stars, crossed arms)
A prepositional phrase is a modifying phrase consisting of a preposition and its object. (on the table, beside the stairs)
A participial phrase will begin with a present or past participle and will always function as an adjective, describing a nearby noun or pronoun.
(e.g. PUTTING ON HER BOOTS, she trudged into the snow.)
The best sentence that analyzes the use allusion in the passage is where he says he is not Prince Hamlet.
