Diana stared dreamily at the handsome Mr. McKenzie, but Olivia, who hated economics, furiously jiggled her foot, impatient to escape the boring economics class.
Main clause: Sentence is of type X but Y where X and Y are independent clauses.
X = Diana stared dreamily at the handsome Mr. McKenzie
Y = Olivia, who hated economics, furiously jiggled her foot, impatient to escape the boring economics class.
Now exploring X and y individually:
Diana stared dreamily at the handsome Mr. McKenzie
NOUN VERB ADVERB ADJECTIVE NOUN
SUBJECT OBJECT
Olivia, who hated economics, furiously jiggled her foot, impatient to escape the boring economics
NOUN MODIFIER ADVERB VERB MODIFIER
class.
However, I suspect placement of modifier '
impatient to escape the boring economics class.'
Is this statement the correct answer choice or does it contain errors?
