The phrase "mechanically fastened another button of his shirt and did not reply" shows that "absently" means not paying attention.

<h3>The meaning of "absently"</h3>

It is common for authors to use context clues when they introduce a word readers may not know. Context clues are pieces of information that help readers figure out the meaning of that word.

In the passage we are analyzing here, it is possible to infer the meaning of "absently" when we read the phrase that  says "mechanically fastened another button." When we do something mechanically, we do it automatically, without giving it much thought.

In other words, we do it without paying attention. That is precisely what "absently" mean. Thus, the phrase helps us figure out the meaning of "absently."

"who are compassionate" What accurately describes this phrase? verb phrase, noun phrase, adjectival clause, or adverbial clause?
Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is adjectival clause.

An adjectival clause is a dependent clause that works to describe a noun in a sentence. It is usually made of a group of words instead of one word only. All the words work together to modify the noun or pronoun.

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but it's not a complete sentence and it can not stand alone.

Adjectival clauses begin with a relative pronoun that connects them to the word they describe. The relative pronouns are: that, where, then, who, which, why etc.

In the clause<em> who are compassionate</em>, the<em> who</em> is the relative pronoun. The clause refers and modifies the noun appearing before in the sentence.
