The use of a narrator who is also a character in the story
Michael Glennon points that there are many agencies and departments - military, intelligence, law enforcement, diplomats and others - that constitute the national security. This means that the U.S government that is elected - <em>president and congressman</em> - are not the ones that take care of national security directly: <em>“America’s efficient institution makes most of the key decisions concerning national security, removed from public view and from the constitutional restrictions that check America’s dignified institutions”</em>
Glennon bases this argument by the National Security Act of 1947 that created the foundation of the modern system. This act also gave agencies and departments self-regulating and self-reinforcing policies and gave more autonomy to them.
B. Authoritative
This word means reliable or accurate.
Answer:The correct answer is - B. While Padmi looks frantically for her pen, her sister calmly writes with it.
Clause 1, Padmi looks frantically for her pen, is dependent here because it is a subordinate clause which cannot exist on its own in this context. Clause 2 is independent here, meaning that it doesn't depend on Clause 1.
A and D are incorrect because both Clauses are independent here, C is incorrect because Clause 1 is independent, and Clause 2 is dependent, which is not what you need here.
