In Pronouns^x, Commas^x

Some notes: The first sentence is not a complete sentence-- add an all-important comma after industrialization . Multiracial or multi-racial . Multi is not a word. imperative and crucial is redundant. Eliminate one of the words. deeply rooted Vesak Day use sprouting ...

Hello Jack The rules for relative adverb clauses are almost the same as for relative pronoun clauses. If no comma precedes 'where', the 'where' clause modifies the antecedent noun phrase restrictively. Your sentence is parsed as follows; "Much of industry is concerned with { (where...

Hi, Unix, Let me try for the first part: Nimbostratus clouds are thick clouds and are dark gray clouds ... Nimbostratus clouds are thick (clouds and are) dark gray clouds ... Nimbostratus clouds are thick, dark gray clouds... ... forebode rain. The verb is "forebode", but you need a...
