Answer:
The dependent clauses in each sentence are:
1. because it lets me imagine other worlds
2. Even though some people dislike reading
3. that I read
Explanation:
A dependent or subordinate clause is a group of words that cannot stand alone as a sentence because it does not convey a complete meaning. That is why it is called dependent: it needs the main clause to add the necessary information for it to make sense. Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions, such as "because", "even though", "unless", "although", etc. Relative clauses, which are a type of dependent clause, begin with relative pronouns, such as "that", "which", or "who".
Having that in mind, we can easily choose the dependent clauses in each sentence by identifying the subordinating and relative conjunctions in them:
1. because it lets me imagine other worlds
2. Even though some people dislike reading
3. that I read
Answer: the LEAST effective replacement for the phrase "used great power": D) squandered great power
Explanation:
The phrase "used great power" <u>means that the Sacramento region </u><u>had great power/ great influence </u><u>in the decade of the 1850s.</u>
So <em>"applied great power", "exerted great power" and "employed great power" </em><u><em>could be considered synonyms of this phrase. </em></u>
The phrase "squandered great power" would be wrong to use in this context, because "to squander" means to "waste" and Sacramento wasn't wasting its power - quite the contrary, as it's said in the text Sacramento had a powerful voice -> "<em>Sacramento's influence was in large part due to its growth in commerce</em>, particularly that portion related to transportation".
