C 4.D 5.D 6.C 7.B I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud by William Wordsworth I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o‟er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle in the milky way. They stretched in never- ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand say I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced; but they Outdid the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company; I gazed-and gazed-but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. To Daffodils by Robert Herrick Fair Daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attained his noon. Stay, stay Until the hasting day Has run But to the even song: And, having prayed together, we Will go with you along. We have short time to stay, as you We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay, As you, or anything. We die. As your hours do, and dry away Like to the summer‟s rain, Or as the pearls of morning‟s dew, Ne‟er to be found again. || AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.com || Email: [email protected] || Next Page >> March 30, 2012 www.englishbd.com evsjv‡`‡k me©cÖ_g Bs‡iwR wel‡qi c~Yv© ½ I‡qemvBU Ozymandias by PB Shelley I met a traveler from an antique land who said: “Two vast and trunk less legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand. Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye mighty , and despair! Nothing beside remains, Round The decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

According to the construction: According to the construction. Sentences are three types. These are1. Simple Sentence 2. Complex Sentence 3. Compound Sentence From the perspective of phrase and clause sentences can be classified into three types: Simple sentence Complex sentence Compound sentence 1. Simple Sentence: A simple sentence has only one clause that means it has a subject, a finite verb. Such asTami lives in America. 2. Complex Sentence: A complex sentence has a main clause (independent clause) and minimum/ at least a subordinate clause (dependent clause).

Therefore, a dependent clause is always connected to an independent clause. For example, The president kept none of the promises that he made. In the above example the clause “The president kept none of the promises:”- can form a complete sentence. Therefore, it‟s the independent clause. The clause “that || AUTHOR :: DIGITAL SUCCESS IN ENGLISH || www.sarbin.peperonity.com || Email: [email protected] || Next Page >> March 30, 2012 www.englishbd.com evsjv‡`‡k me©cÖ_g Bs‡iwR wel‡qi c~Yv© ½ I‡qemvBU he made” is not a complete and grammatically correct sentence. Therefore, it is dependent clause. Difference between Phrase and Clause: Phrase and Clause both are group of words. But the key difference between two is that the phrase has not the two major parts- Subject and Finite verb I will go there if she goes. Here the clause “I will go there” can form a complete sentence; so, it is the independent clause. But the clause “if she goes” That‟s why it is considered as the dependent clause. Whether you understand the meaning of a sentence or not, identify the compulsory elements of a sentence- subject and verb. Always be certain that the sentence has an independent clause. And the main clause has a finite verb. Every year, thousands of people in Muslim countries ---- the custom of various religious festivals. a. enjoying b. to enjoy C. who enjoy d. enjoy In the question above, there is no finite/ main verb for the clause. Analyzing the options we find that option „a‟ will not work as „verb + ing‟ form cannot alone be a verb without the help of the auxiliary verbs. In case of choice „b‟ an infinitive can not also be a main verb by itself. Option „c‟ provides us a clause marker word meaning that there is one dependent clause and for that another verb will be needed; two verbs for two clauses. Option „d‟ meets all the criteria of being a verb with no clause marker and being the main verb for the independent clause. In clauses, check for three things- a clause marker (who, which, because, since, as, though etc.) a subject and a verb. The subject will follow the clause marker. One clause marker in a sentence indicates that there is a subordinate/ dependent clause. So be careful in using two verbs- one for the independent clause and another for the subordinate clause. If there are two clause markers in one sentence, the process remains same. Industrial psychologists have found that most people- to work even if they become very wealthy. a. continuing b. continue c. who continue d. continues Here it will need a main verb for the clause „that most people--So the correct answer is option b. Remember not to ask any question in the dependent or subordinate clause. Never use verb before the subject in the dependent clause. Incorrect: Do you know where is he? Correct: Do you know where he is? Incorrect: What should you do is nothing. Correct: What you should do is nothing.
