When you say "Which ... ", are you saying "Here's a list of choices.
Please select your answer from the list." ?
If so, then there's something definitely missing here.
And since my answer is not restricted to the list of choices you provided,
I get to pick any line of poetry I want to.
<em>to BE or NOT to BE that IS the QUES</em> tion.
This is iambic pentameter.
(The "-tion" kind of hangs off at the end, but hey ! It's Shakespeare.
Wotta ya gonna do. You can't tell him anything.)
The correct answer is to B. De-emphasize the subject.
Very often the subject can be completely omitted.
Burglars committed the crime
The crime was committed (by the burglars).
In the passive version, the subject is irrelevant.
The only word that could potentially be a compound noun is patents, but that has its own definition-a government meeting of some sort.
A compound noun would be a compound word that is also a noun, but there aren't really any compound words.
I know this doesn't really help, sry.
