This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Minutes later, wild bees in their murderous thousands attacked the young performer, and quickly covered his whole body. He fell and with him the bees, which stepped up to attack. At first, the spectators assumed that this was another magical act.
‘... which stepped up the attack’.
a. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the
passage?
b. What is its function?
Answers:
a. It is an adjective/relative clause.
b. It qualifies the noun ‘bees’.
Explanation:
An adjectival clause is a subordinate clause, which begins with a relative pronoun such as "which" in the provided example. Its function is to add details about a noun or pronoun, working as an adjective despite being a phrase and not just one word.
In this example, the word "which" is a relative pronoun that acts as the subject (the bees) and adds details about their actions.
It is an aggressive word and is usually used when you want the audience to perceive it as a negative action without straight up telling them. In definition, it is harassment, and thus produces an unfavorable effect for those on the receiving end, but the connotation is that the effect is more severe.

Answer: C. Making inferences
Explanation:
When we receive a text, we read it, make observations and summarize it in our minds. After this we then use the information gathered to make inferences which would enable us understand the meaning of the message.
We will then be able to formulate a reply based on the inferences made about what the text could mean. This process can happen really fast and is the reason texting can happen in relatively huge volumes in a short period of time.
