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>

Which of the following lines from our town is an example of juxtaposition
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

"My, wasn't life's awful...and wonderful"

Explanation:

In the context of grammar, juxtaposition is a process of combining phrases and establishing syntactic relations between them. It is an operation similar to coordination and subordination.

The juxtaposition uses punctuation marks (in the written language) or pauses to link two sentences. Because it does not use links (such as "and", "from" or "to"), this process can give rise to different syntactic interpretations depending on the speaker's context or capabilities. The juxtaposition also allows one to join two simple sentences.

With this we can conclude that an example, where the juxtaposition is presented is the phrase "My, wasn't life's awful...and wonderful" .
