Celebrities is being modified in order to make the sentence make since.

The correct answer is:

Clothing

Explanation:

<em>Modifiers are word or phrases that describe, change, limit, clarifies or qualifies a particular word to add meaning, detail or explanation in a sentence. </em>Modifiers are usually adjectives, adverbs, phrases and adjective or adverb clauses.

<u>In this sentence, the phrase "worn by celebrities" is acting as an adjective clause to the subject which is </u><u>"clothing"</u><u>.</u> This phrase is a modifier because it specifies that clothing worn by celebrities (not all kinds of clothing, just this one) can be sold at auction for crazy high prices.

Without the modifier phrase, it would be "Clothing can be sold at auction for crazy high prices, and the entire meaning of the sentence would be changed.

Select the word that best defines the italicized word. wane sick healthy increase decrease
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

The verb to wane means to diminish in intensity, to be less brilliant or powerful, a bit like a to dim.  So, decrease would be the best match to wane. You might have a dimmer control at home for some lights, to control the intensity.

Increase is the opposite of to increase of course.

Healthy and sick are not words that have similar meanings as wane, since they relate to living organisms, not lights.
