“The result is supported by recent psychological research, which revals that after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines, most women ___feelings of insecurity about their bodies.”
A.have been reported
B.was reported
C.reported
D.reporting
I am not sure which of the answer should be filled in the box.
The sentence “most women…their bodies” is a adj.clause or a phrase?
Please help me to find out the answer.Thank you.
As for your second question, I haven?t got
a clue but, from my point of view, I think
the second comma is not necessary. Actually, I
think it?s wrong. Therefore, I see the sentence
“which… most women…” as a subordinate
relative clause.
. The result is supported by recent psychological research – Main clause of sentence
, which reveals that after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines,most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies – nonrestrictive dependent clause modifying research and requiring the comma preceding it
that after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines, most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies – dependent restrictive clause acting as the object of reveals
after 20 mins spent reading fashion magazines – dependent sub-clause as adverbial of the following:
most women reported feelings of insecurity about their bodies – independent subclause of that-clause.
