Read this sentence. All cars that are not registered will be towed to the nearest impound lot. Identify the relative clause, whether it is essential to the meaning of the sentence, and if it requires commas. Select one: a. The clause is "that are not registered." It is essential. It does not require a comma. b. The clause is "that are not registered." It is non-essential. It does require a comma. c. The clause is "to the nearest impound lot." It is essential. It does not require a comma. d. The clause is "to the nearest impound lot." It is non-essential. It does require a comma.

The correct answer is A. The clause is "that are not registered." It is essential. It does not require a comma.

Explanation:

In grammar, relative clauses are used to define a noun. These can be identified because they begin with words such as that, when, where, etc. In the sentence presented the relative clause is "that are not registered", which defines "the cars".

Moreover, relative clauses are essential if they provide key information and cannot be omitted. This occurs in the clause "that are not registered" because without this it is not possible to know the cars that will be towed. Also, according to grammar rules, essential clauses do not require commas.

analyzing characters

respond to the following questions in one paragraph for each. use specific examples from the text to support your responses.

1. there is a set of twins on the island named sam and eric. however, when describing them, golding regularly refers to them as samneric. how does this way of describing the twins relate to their behavior and the way that readers understand their characters? what examples of their behavior readers see that samneric is really the appropriate way to refer to them?

2. as the boys set out to search for the beast, ralph allows jack to lead the way, and he sinks to the back of the pack, " to have escaped responsibility for a time." what does this moment lead you to infer about ralph and about his feelings about being the group’s leader? what does this moment foreshadow?

3. while part of the party searching for the beast, simon realizes that the notion of the beast that the other boys have does not make sense. a beast sitting atop a mountain with claws, a beast who did not leave tracks, could have easily caught the twins. simon has a different picture of the beast: "there rose before his inward sight the picture of a human at once heroic and sick." how does this picture relate to the beast that samneric saw? how does it relate to what simon said earlier about the beast being "only us"?
