Answer 1

We can identify subordinate clauses and verbal phrases in each of the sentences in the following manner:

1. "that live in this part of the country" - Subordinate clause
2. "when locusts rub their hind legs against their wings" - Subordinate clause
3. "to listen to locusts on a hot summer night" - Verbal phrase
4. "that they make" - Subordinate clause
5. "but hornets are more threatening" - Subordinate clause
6. "hearing the buzz of a horne" - Verbal phrase

Difference between subordinate clauses and verbal phrases

A subordinate or dependent clause cannot express a complete thought on its own. To make sense, it needs the main clause the complete its meaning. Subordinate clauses begin with subordinating or relative conjunctions. They also have a subject and a verb.

A verbal phrase does not have a subject. It has a verb, but the phrase itself functions as either an adjective or an adverb in the sentence. Let's compare the two below:

• Subordinate clause: I left because I wanted to see him.

• Verbal phrase: Wanting to see him, I left.
