Answer:
The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:
B. which
Explanation:
We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.
We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:
- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)
- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)
Answer:
After reading the passage, I see how the author uses connotations and figurative language to make his experience come to life. The author uses a mix of postive and negitive connotations like "fast" as a positive connotation, and "lighting" as a negitive connotation. Though the author is using negitive connotation in the paragraph, the story itself is not meant to be negitive, rather exciting and uses figurtative language as a description. This is expressed through the phrases like, "electric fight" but the author hints at what they mean through the following context clues like, " for us to turn on and off as we please." Which indicated a light swich, and the electric that "fighting" through it. This make it feel like not just a light swich or power, but an electric storm that comes to life!
