I’m not understanding the question but if your asking what that quote means there here ya go: she is saying is that her death will ultimately cause grief and chaos after she is gone. She feels guilty that her parents life and those that love her, are almost making a sacrifice because they love her. Her parents and Gus loving her will in the end be the death of her and them. Ironic, huh?
Answer: C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".
C. Neutral
Nowadays there are many that are argumentative but they are not supposed to be like that.
Through careful diction and sentence structure.
