Answer and Explanation:

<u>What functions as a subject is not really the relative clause, but the relative pronoun - "that".</u> Relative pronouns can act as subjects or objects in the clause they introduce. Let's compare:

1. I am the only person who saw Erica.

2. I am the only person who Erica saw and recognized.

Notice that in sentence 1, "who" is the subject of the clause "saw Erica". However, in sentence 2, "who" is the object. The subject of the verb "saw" now is "Erica".

<u>The same happens in the clause "that was hurt before". The relative pronoun "that" - which is substituting the noun "ankle" - is the subject of the clause "was hurt before". Therefore, we can say its noun function is the subject.</u>

All of the following are steps your group should follow to be effective, except
valina [46]

Answer:

d. Get feedback.

Explanation:

For any group to be effective, it is important to make sure that unity is there among the members. There must be a sense of compromise, communication, and be a good listener too.

Aside from that, a group can be made more effective if creative ideas and solutions are generated and brought together and discussed among the members. Taking necessary actions and selection of the best solutions after deliberations can also make a group effective. But getting feedback is not something that will make the group effective.

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option d.</u>
