Unit 11 Text A Why Historians Disagree? Allen F. Davis Harold D Woodman Key to Exercises Preview Do the following exercises. Analyze the grammatical structure of the following sentences. This is actually a simple sentence with two verbs, and when reduced to its bare essentials, will read: Most students are introduced to the study of history … and become immersed …, with “by way of a fat textbook” and ‘in a vast sea of names, dates, events and statistics’ used both as adverbials modifying the two verbs. This is a compound sentence with an attributive clause modifying the subject. Note: ‘from among’ is a double preposition, the same as: from behind, from under, etc. This fifty-four word long sentence is quite typical of academic writing, which often contains many phrases, clauses (sometimes clauses within clauses) as well as long words. In this sentence, there are two clauses and one participle phrase used attributively introduced by “in which”, “whereby” and “taken” respectively. Besides there are two phrases: “in the event of war” and “with German support”, both used as adverbials of condition.
