Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you <u>behaved in a more gentleman-like manner.</u>

Which type of phrase is the underlined portion of the sentence?

A.  adverbial phrase

B.  verb phrase

C.  absolute phrase

D.  adjectival phrase

Answer:

D.  adjectival phrase

Explanation:

Adjective phrases are phrases that assume the same function as an adjective, promoting a characteristic and describing something or someone. According to the sentence underlined in the question above, we can see that this sentence aims to convey a characteristic that Mr. Darcy lacks. The phrase refers to the lack of delicacy, which represents that Mr. Darcy behaved in a rude and rude manner. This phrase, therefore, refers to a characteristic of Darcy and is therefore an adjective phrase.

What does Maya Angelou mean when she says that Shakespeare was a black woman ?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Hello

She was speaking metaphorically, Maya reflected on the words of Shakespeare. She related his words of sorrow and pain to her past, as she had been hurt and abused as a child, as most people know she was mute from the age of 7 to 13, an experience she writes about in her autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. But Angelou's message was that there is more in poetry—and, by extension, all art—that unites than divides us. Not only can a long-dead, uber-white male writer like Shakespeare voice an experience so universal that it speaks truth to power for a poor black girl living in the Jim Crow American South.
