Answer:

Explanation:
An adverb clause is a group of related words having a subject and a verb and whose function is to modify or give further information of adjectives, verbs or other adverbs. This type of clauses often answers why, how, when, where or in what circumstances something is done or takes place, and they begin with subordinating conjunctions that introduce the clause and connects it to another clause, such as <em>although, because, since, as, after, when, before an once. </em>
In the sentence, the adverb clause is "Although I wrote in time" because it has a subject and a verb ("I" and "wrote"), it modifies the main action (the verb): "receive" by providing information of in what circumstances you did not receive the ticket, and it is introduced by a subordinating conjunction: "although."
Answer:
Sahil told Radhika that <em><u>he had invited four of his friends for dinner that day.</u></em>
Then Radhika said <em><u>she will also invite her friends</u></em>, which Sahil thought <em><u>would be a great idea</u></em>.
When Radhika asked <em><u>what they should have for dinner,</u></em> Sahil replied <em><u>they should decide the menu then.</u></em>
Explanation:
The given conversation is in the direct speech, meaning it is a real conversation with the speakers and the speeches in their respective names. But if we are to change it into the indirect or reported speech form, we have to change some aspects of the speeches. One is to remove the speech or direct format and write it in the reported form, and also some words such as "today" will be changed to "that day" and "now" will be changed to "then", etc.
Therefore, the given conversation in the reported form will be-
Sahil told Radhika that <em><u>he had invited four of his friends for dinner that day.</u></em>
Then Radhika said <em><u>she will also invite her friends</u></em>, which Sahil thought <em><u>would be a great idea</u></em>.
When Radhika asked <em><u>what they should have for dinner,</u></em> Sahil replied <em><u>they should decide the menu then.</u></em>
Answer:
The context clue for the word diaphanous can be categorized as <u>comparison</u>.
Explanation:
As we know, context clues are, as the name suggests, clues or hints a writer gives to help readers understand the meaning of certain words or expressions. In the sentence, "The curtains in the house were diaphanous like a piece of clean glass," we have an adjective that is quite uncommon, diaphanous. What the author does, then, is he/she compares the diaphanous curtains to something else as a means of eliciting what being diaphanous means. In this case, the comparison happens by the use of simile, a figure of speech which compares two different things by using support words ("as" or "like"). It is very common for writers to use metaphors as comparison context clues as well.
From the comparison context clue given by the author, we can assume that diaphanous means clear, translucent.

Explanation: Freewriting is essentially brainstorming sentences in paragraph form on a topic without regard to spelling or grammar.
In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".
From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.
As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.
