Which sentence contains an underlined clause?

erastova [34]

Answer:

After walking my dogs, I sat down to do my homework assignment.

Explanation:

The following words are underlined in the given sentences:

My two large dogs happily chased each other around the backyard.
Because of their size, my dogs must be fed three meals daily.
I wash my dogs outside near the garage once every two weeks.
After walking my dogs, I sat down to do my homework assignment.

The term clause refers to a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. The subject is what the sentence is about, while the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or describes the subject.

In order to find the correct answer, we need to look for a subject and a predicate within the underlined groups of words.

In the first example, the predicate is missing.

In the second, it's the subject that is missing.

In the third example, neither the subject nor the predicate is underlined.

In the fourth example, they are both present. I is the subject, and sat is the predicate. That's why the fourth sentence is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's "Persuasion" revolves around the life of a young woman named Anne Elliot and her struggles with family, love, and friendship. The novel deals with the common themes of social status, class rigidity, marriage, and one's profession as deemed 'fit' in a society.

In the given passage from the text, Mary revealed she saw Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay together which Anne denied for Mr. Elliot "was to leave Bath at nine this morning, and does not come back till to-morrow." But when Mary insisted it was them, Anne had no choice but to go and see for herself. She did it mainly to calm Mary and also to hide her embarrassment in not knowing what is really going on or who Mr. Elliot really is.
