The main clause is "Chris's chief interest was tennis".
The subordinate clause is "Which he was just learning to play" and it is an adjective clause because it describes what the "tennis" was like. Tennis is an object and this subordinate clause further describes that it is the tennis that he was trying to learn.
Answer:
fun, straightforward, smart, honest
Explanation:
In Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, there are many omens and warnings that should have prevented Caesar from going to the Senate that day. First, he was warned by a soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March." Then, his wife Calpurnia has a bad dream that Caesar was murdered. Other bad omens have presented themselves as well.
However, Caesar vows to go anyway. He ignores his wife's pleading and says that "<span>Cowards die many times before their deaths. </span><span>The valiant never taste of death but once." This shows his pride -- he is not a coward and he will not be taken for one.
At last, however, Calpurnia convinces him to stay home. When Decius comes to deliver a message to the Senate, Caesar makes it clear that he he CAN go -- he is choosing not to go. Again, this shows his pride, as he does not want to appear sick or weak.
But then Decius provides some powerful news: he tells Caesar that Senate was to crown him that day. Although this is an outright lie told to Caesar just to get him out of the house, Caesar is swayed by the promise of more power. This shows his greed for power, or his ambition. Had he not cared so much about a crown, he would have stayed home that day and likely kept his life.
Decius also implies that, if Caesar waits, the Senate might change their mind. He also hints that the Senate will laugh at Caesar and think him scared since he was so easily swayed by his wife's nightmares. Hearing these words, Caesar is convinced. He will now allow others to think of him as weak or scared. He tells Calpurnia he is going. And, although he does not know it, he will never return home again.

Read The Scholarship jacket”, by Marta Salinties
In her first meeting with the principal, Marta could have challenged him by telling what she had overheard the two teachers saying. Why do you think she stayed silent? What do you think the principal would have said or done if she'd told him she knew the real reason she wasn't being given the jacket?
Answer:
I think Martha stayed silent in the first meeting out of pure shock because she was not expecting such a horrible strategy. Maybe, she was so eager to get the jacket by any means necessary, even paying for it despite that being unfair.
Explanation:
However, if she had confronted the principal in that first meeting, he probably would have denied it and forced himself to defend the new policy, making the happy ending impossible.
