Answer 5

I'd definitely say A - Direct Object. :))

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces an adjective clause - which, that, who, whom, and whose. The relative pronoun in this sentence is that.

A direct object is 'a noun phrase indicating something that is the receiver of the action of a transitive verb.'

A transitive verb is 'A verb that needs a direct object to complete its meaning.'

What does the essay describe? The essay describes the mountain that the person climbed.

The transitive verb is describes, and the direct object is mountain.

So that is the noun indicating that mountain is the receive of the action of describing.

Answer 12

A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. You see them used everyday with the most common relative pronouns being: who, whom, which, whoever, whomever, whichever, and that.

Answer 13

Right, that's what a relative pronoun is. So the relative pronoun in this sentence is WHOSE.

WHOSE is used for... POSSESSION! WHOSE theories? ALBERT EINSTEIN'S theories!
