English
1 answer:

The phrase that gives the sentence a humorous laughing voice is;

  • Particularly Pins

In the passage, "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," Benjamin Franklin describes a practice in his time when men and women will be accused of being witches.

They are subjected to several tests and the test in this passage was them being weighed against a Bible. It was believed that the weight of the Bible will supersede those of the witches and so, they will be thrown off.

Franklin describes these events in a comical manner to describe the folly of what they were doing.

When he said that they searched themselves to see if something of weight will be found among them, especially pins he was mocking them because pins are not known to be weighty.

Identify the type of clause in the sentence below rising college tuition costs which are becoming an increasing burden to studen
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The clause in the sentence is an adjective clause.

Explanation:

We have a complex sentence in "Rising college tuition costs, which are becoming an increasing burden to students and parents, need to be examined and adjusted." A complex sentence is formed by joining an independent clause and a dependent one.

The independent clause states a complete thought on its own. The independent clause, in this case, is "Rising college tuition costs need to be examined and adjusted."

<u>The dependent or subordinate clause needs the independent clause to make sense. In this case, it is "which are becoming an increasing burden to students and parents." This clause functions as an adjective, providing more information about something mentioned in the main clause - the rising tuition costs. What we have here is, therefore, an adjective clause.</u>
