Answer:
The answer is: B. one main verb and one or more helping verbs.
A verb phrase represents a syntactic unit which includes at least one verb and its dependents. The necessary condition is that the verb phrase always contains one main verb. It may consist of a main verb plus modal/auxiliary verbs (one or more), but it can also contain a main verb only. In any case, the main verb always comes after the helping verbs.
Answer:
In those days the Church <u>was not merely a thermometer</u> that recorded the ideas and principles of popular opinion; <u>it was a thermostat</u> that transformed the mores of society.
Explanation:
Type of figurative language: It is a metaphor.
Meaning of figurative language: We call a metaphor when the author uses objects to translate the real signification of other word. In this case the author is trying to translate the function of the Church into the function of a thermostat, and avoiding the function of a thermometer.
Effect on tone and mood: It is used both in poetry and in explanatory texts to better understand a feeling, function or comparison in words.
Effect on audience: It makes the public understand in a better way the force that the author really wants to communicate in his words. Also it gives a sense of beauty in the words.
