Answer:

That it was terrifying enough to make them forget their valued possessions.

Explanation:

The given excerpt is from the short story <em>House Taken Over</em> <em>(Casa Tomada) </em>written by Julio Cortázar. It tells about a brother and sister living in a home taken over by unknown entities. The story belongs to the genre called magical realism, which was common among mid-20th-century Argentinian writers. The story starts realistically, but then natural laws slowly become distorted.

The excerpt is located at the end of the story, when the protagonists leave the house, and tells us that the entity was terrifying enough to make them forget their most valued possessions.

Is the group of words in bold a phrase or a clause<br> The support beams beneath the abandoned jetty
S_A_V [24]

Before answering the question let us analize what a phrase and a clause are? a clause is a sentence that contains a subject and a predicate. Every sentence must have at least one main clause. <u>A main clause contains an independent subject and a verbal structure and expresses a complete thought</u>.

There are two different kinds of clauses: first,"Dependent" clauses are sentences that cannot stand alone and do not convey full meaning, for example: “When I go rock climbing" this sentence has a subject and a verb, but its meaning raises questions, it does not have a complete idea of its own. Second "Independent" clauses are sentences that can stand alone as a full sentence and convey a full meaning, for example: "I prefer climbing in landscapes that present a challenge."

A phrase is a group of words that can lack either the subject or the verb and cannot stand alone and do not convey full meaning because it lacks one of the two that are essential in a sentence, for example: "going places", "my brother in a good mood"

The main and most important difference between a clause and a phrase is that a clause if it is independent is considered a full sentence, whereas a phrase could never be considered one.

The group of words:

"<em>The support beams beneath the abandoned jetty." </em>

<u>Is a Phrase for it lacks a predicate</u>
