Hey, I know that you’re not going to open this and you probably hate me, but I wanted to say sorry for being a bad friend and for always being a [blank] to you.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Minutes later, wild bees in their murderous thousands attacked the young performer, and quickly covered his whole body. He fell and with him the bees, which stepped up to attack. At first, the spectators assumed that this was another magical act.
‘... 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.
The correct answer is D. Supporting evidence
Explanation:
In writing, the main idea is the main point the author writes about which is usually connected to an argument, position, point of view, etc. This main or central idea is the one that guides all the process of writing and that is introduced in the first paragraph, then developed in the body paragraph and restated or summarized in the last paragraphs. Additionally, main ideas are commonly developed through supporting evidence that includes sub-ideas, reasons, quotes, example, statistics, etc organized in multiple paragraphs. Thus, a writer needs to develop the main idea by using supporting evidence.
C. filled societies with strong competitor
