Answer 2

Answer:

• Here 'everyone is praying' is a clause because a clause is sentence within a larger sentence. A clause must have a finite verb.

• Phrase is a group of words and it has no 'subject' and 'finite verb' but it has sense or meaning. Example : The boy of brown hair is my brother. 'With brown hair' is an Adjective Phrase.

• 'For' is used to mean 'Adverb clause of Reason/Cause.'
