Find in 2 a phrase whose principal part is made up of three
nouns. What have you learned about the commas used with these nouns? In
making separate sentences of 3 what words do you change or drop? Are these
the words that bind the parts of 3 together? What noun is used adverbially
after _gave_? Supply a preposition and then tell what phrases modify
_gave_. Find the object complement of _gave_. What modifies _refused_ by
telling when? What, by telling _why_?
In 1, paragraph 2, who is described as gazing about? What does _gazing
about_ modify? Read the group of words that tells how far or how long
Franklin walked up the street. Notice that this whole group is used like an
adverb. Find in it a subject, a predicate, and an object complement. Drop
_till_ and see whether the parts of 1 make separate sentences. What word,
then, binds these two sentences into one? Read 2 and make of it three
distinct sentences by omitting the first _and_ and the word _but_. The
second of these three sentences just made contains several sentences which
are not so easily separated, as some are used like single words to make up
the main, or principal, sentence. In this second part of 2 find the leading
subject and its two predicates. Find a phrase belonging to _I_ and
representing Franklin as doing something.
