Let's define these types of clauses. Adjective clauses can serve as a multi-word adjective, basically. Noun clauses can serve as a multi-word noun, with a subject and verb, but remember, they are still dependent. Adverb clauses start with a subordinating conjunction. Now let's dissect this sentence.
"It is not right" independent clause
"to make a promise" adjective clause
"unless one is sure he can fulfill the promise" adverb clause
the answer is "one adverb clause and one adjective clause"
These words have similar meanings, so the relationship between them is that they are "synonyms". Synonyms are words with similar meanings, and they can often be used interchangeably within a sentence. Other relationships could include antonyms, which are words with opposite meanings.
Answer:
In some of the most influential democracies in the world, large segments of the population are no longer receiving unbiased news and information. This is not because journalists are being thrown in jail, as might occur in authoritarian settings. Instead, the media have fallen prey to more nuanced efforts to throttle their independence. Common methods include government-backed ownership changes, regulatory and financial pressure, and public denunciations of honest journalists. Governments have also offered proactive support to friendly outlets through measures such as lucrative state contracts, favorable regulatory decisions, and preferential access to state information. The goal is to make the press serve those in power rather than the public.
The problem has arisen in tandem with right-wing populism, which has undermined basic freedoms in many democratic countries. Populist leaders present themselves as the defenders of an aggrieved majority against liberal elites and ethnic minorities whose loyalties they question, and argue that the interests of the nation—as they define it—should override democratic principles like press freedom, transparency, and open debate.
Among Free countries in Freedom House’s Freedom in the World report, 19 percent (16 countries) have endured a reduction in their press freedom scores over the past five years. This is consistent with a key finding of Freedom in the World—that democracies in general are undergoing a decline in political rights and civil liberties. It has become painfully apparent that a free press can never be taken for granted, even when democratic rule has been in place for decades.
