like that Okay here we go For he not only
- 00:20
beholds intensely the present as it is is what kind
- 00:23
of claws and here are potential answers are relative Okay
- 00:29
Is it a relative adjective claws while relative and restrictive
- 00:32
clauses limit the possibilities or implications of what they modified
- 00:36
For example if you say all students who do well
- 00:38
on the test will achieve advanced placement the claws who
- 00:41
do well on the test is the essential modifier Without
- 00:45
it we just have all students will achieve advanced placement
- 00:48
and that's Not what we want Since the sentence in
- 00:50
question doesn't contain a relative or restrictive klaus we can
- 00:54
cross out a night What about b is our sense
- 00:56
A relative adverb clause Well a relative adverb klaus What
- 01:00
again Put restrictions on the subject or object it is
- 01:02
modifying The restriction might come in the form of a
- 01:05
time or place specifications like of the author said for
- 01:08
he not on ly beholds intensely the present as it
- 01:11
is when he feels like it yeah that would make
- 01:14
the sentence more of a relative adverb Claws are sentenced
- 01:17
connects to different ideas that the author says poets can
- 01:20
consider simultaneously the sentence doesn't put any restrictions on when
- 01:24
and how the poet can do so So b is
- 01:26
in our answer either How about c Is the sentence
- 01:29
an independent klaus Well independent clauses are more like the
- 01:31
clauses in the following sentence many young people hate age
- 01:35
restrictions on youtube even when they can figure out how
- 01:38
to get around them the clauses on either side of
- 01:41
even when could each stand alone hence their independence If
- 01:45
we just had that not only part of the sentence
- 01:47
and didn't follow it up with a but then the
- 01:49
sense wouldn't make any sense pence she's off our list
- 01:53
is the clause non restrictive Well as we know it's
- 01:56
not relative or restrictive but we can't really consider the
- 01:59
claws technique thickly non restrictive a non restrictive klaus will
- 02:02
often add non essential information if you removed the extra
- 02:05
Information The meaning of the sense would not change all
- 02:08
the information in the original quote is essential sum No
- 02:11
non restrictive clauses here Well our last remaining option is
- 02:14
correlative klaus We talked earlier about how the author is
- 02:17
connecting two ideas Those ideas are beholding intensely the present
- 02:22
as it is and beholding the future in the present
- 02:25
Well those may sound like lines from a time travel
- 02:27
flick What they actually tell us is that the pull
- 02:29
it in the author's words does both of these things
- 02:31
at the same time What makes the claws correlative is
- 02:35
the use of the not on ly but also tool
- 02:38
also is implied We didn't even have to see it
- 02:41
to know it was there just like that monster who
- 02:43
lives under our bed So yeah just remember the correlation
- 02:46
isn't cause ality and you're good to go and while
- 02:49
you're at it maybe rent the movie causalities of war 00:02:52.373 --> [endTime] it's a good one
