Thrushcross Grange was quite different from Wuthering Heights. Heathcliff and Catherine went there on a Sunday to see how the LINTON children spent their time. The journey that was spurred by curiosity brought another dimension to the story. It exposed Catherine to the luxuries and refined manners of the residents of Thrushcross Grange. She became torn between her love for Heathcliff and her DESIRE to become part of genteel society.

The Lintons lived at Thrushcross Grange, Edgar and Isabella. Catherine eventually weds Edgar and Heathcliff weds Isabella despite their love for one another. Catherine desires to become part of genteel society to better herself and her position in life and Heathcliff encourages this so one day he can become owner of Thrushcross Grange.

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!
