The article uses relative clauses to expand noun phrases and connect information without repeatedly naming the same referents. Consider the excerpt below and the syntactic relations established within it.

"The survey uncovered thousands of geometric patterns built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs, which take various shapes including circles and squares and appear to be connected by straight roads or pathways."

Regarding the highlighted linguistic structures, mark T, for true, and F, for false.

(__)The word which functions as a possessive relative pronoun and could be replaced by whose without changing the syntactic organization of the clause.
(__)The phrase by straight roads or pathways contains by introducing the element interpreted as connecting the geoglyphs in the passive construction.
(__)The relative pronoun which has geoglyphs as its antecedent and introduces information about their forms and apparent connections.
(__)In various shapes including circles and squares, including introduces examples belonging to the broader category expressed by shapes.

After analysis, select the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence of the items above, from top to bottom. 

The article describes "thousands of geometric patterns built into the Earth, known as geoglyphs." Two reduced constructions add information about the noun phrase without using complete finite relative clauses.

Analyze the statements below.

I."Built into the Earth" can be expanded as a passive relative construction such as "that were built into the Earth".
II."Known as geoglyphs" has passive meaning and describes the designation given to the geometric patterns.
III.Both constructions place the geometric patterns in the semantic role of agents performing the actions expressed by "build and know".

It is CORRECT what is stated in:

The final quotation contains the rhetorical question "what else remains hidden beneath the forest canopy?" A teacher asks students to compare this interrogative structure with a declarative sentence containing the same lexical material.

Which declarative counterpart preserves the basic proposition expressed by the question?

The article introduces AI as an important component of Sync Labs and then adds information about how the company employs the technology. The writer uses a relative clause to integrate this explanation into the same sentence.

Consider the excerpt.

"AI is integral to Herbert's company, which uses the technology to streamline information from health providers' notes, staff observations, lab results and other data."

The relative pronoun "which" refers to: 

The article repeatedly condenses information through participial constructions, allowing the writer to specify characteristics without creating a complete finite clause. One example occurs in the discussion of business applications.
