Answer:
- Examples of clauses in this paragraph:
1) When he was nearly thirteen - dependent (adverbial) clause
2) Jem’s fears of never being able to play football - dependent (noun) clause
3) His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right - main clause
1) my brother Jem - noun phrase
2) about his injury - prepositional phrase
3) couldn't have cared less - verb phrase
Explanation:
This paragraph is from the very beginning of the novel:
<em>When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem’s fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh. He couldn’t have cared less, so long as he could pass and punt.</em>
It is also important to note the difference between dependent clauses and main clauses. Dependent clauses do not express a complete thought, and they cannot stand on their own as a sentence (or if they do, it makes no sense). There are different types of dependent clauses - <em>relative (adjectival), adverbial, </em>and <em>noun clauses</em>. When it comes to main clauses, they convey a complete idea.
Dear (whatever your adminstrator's name is),
In my opinion, I think the learning for the rest of the school year should be virtual. My first reason is; a lot of students have gotten used to virtual learning and switching them back to in person learning might be stressful for them and many students don't work well under stress so you'll be looking at lots and lots of incompleted assignments and less motivation. My second reason is; since the start of virtual learning, many students have looked forward to seeing their friends during in person school and this might become a priority and their work will be the last priority, they will focus more on communicating with their friends and not pay attention to the teacher and this will cause the point of going back to in person learning useless. My third and last reason is, a lot of students have gotten used to not interacting with classmates and bringing them back to school will cause problems like anxiety (mainly social anxiety) and stress because students feel more comfortable in their own home.
I hope you understand my points and hopefully you would change your mind. Thank you for your time.
