The first quotation by Jay Friedenberg means that the human brain is too complex to easily explain.

The second quotation means that Strange de Jim has short attention span which he worries about, but soon forgets about it.

A quotation is the rendering of the words of another, using inverted commas to show that they are the words of someone else.

From the first quotation, Mr.Friedenberg believes that the human brain is too complex for only one theory to accurately describe.

According to the second quotation, Mr. de Jim talks about his short attention span, which does not even allow him worry about it for very long, before his attention shifts to something else.

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "the person or thing being referred to".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.

Let's see clause one - "And may there be no moaning of the bar, "

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"When I put out to sea,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"Put Out" here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea" also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!
