The sentence below is a complex sentence. Whenever I walk the dog, I feel great. The underlined clause is -- Question 13 options: An independent clause A dependent clause Neither an independent clause nor a dependent clause Both an independent and a dependent clause.

Answers

The underlined clause, 'Whenever I walk the dog', is a dependent clause as it is not a complete sentence and is dependent on other independent clause, ' I feel great'.

What is a dependent clause?

A dependent clause is an incomplete sentence which is dependent on an independent clause to make a complete meaningful sentence. A dependent clause does not have a literal meaning.

In the sentence, 'Whenever I walk the dog, I feel great', there are two clauses, the first part of the sentence is a dependent clause and the second part is an independent clause, which is completing the sentence.

Therefore, option, B,  'A dependent clause', is correct.

the answer to this question is A. heavy

This excerpt is from “The Poet” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The poem describes a poet's consciousness and perception. Which lines suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts?Thus truth was multiplied on truth, the world
Like one great garden show'd,
And thro' the wreaths of floating dark upcurl'd,
Rare sunrise flow'd.

And Freedom rear'd in that august sunrise
Her beautiful bold brow,
When rites and forms before his burning eyes
Melted like snow.

There was no blood upon her maiden robes
Sunn'd by those orient skies;
But round about the circles of the globes
Of her keen eyes

And in her raiment's hem was traced in flame
WISDOM, a name to shake
All evil dreams of power--a sacred name.
And when she spake,

Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder,

So was their meaning to her words.
No sword
Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,
But one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word
She shook the world.

The lines that suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts are:

Her words did gather thunder as they ran,
And as the lightning to the thunder
Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,
Making earth wonder

I hope this answer helped you.

The last lines of the poem suggest the richness of a poet's thoughts:

"Her words did gather thunder as they ran,

And as the lightning to the thunder

Which follows it, riving the spirit of man,

Making earth wonder,

So was their meaning to her words.

No sword

Of wrath her right arm whirl'd,

But one poor poet's scroll, and with 'his' word

She shook the world."

The word is considered a weapon on par with a sword; the poem is capable of shaking the world. The poet's words are like thunder and lighting, "riving the spirit of man". Their effect on both the world and the spirit is violent and physical; such words are not a passing wind but a mighty tempest.
