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>

The movie the godfather depicts the life of vito corleone, head of a mafia family. the mafia family is a criminal secret society
strojnjashka [21]
As such, the mafia is a counterculture.
Take into consideration the counterculture of the 60s - the hippie culture who opposed wars and fought the government in a peaceful way. They wanted to change the society for the better by opposing those in power. Mafia, on the other hand, opposes the entire society, but is still an example of counterculture.

What is the plot of fever pitch by nick hornby
postnew [5]
Fever Pitch is an autobiography, so it is about the writer.


The book is about the author's relationship with football, and about football matches that the author watched. So the book is technically about football.
