3. Noun Clauses:
 Most of us grow up being taught( that patience is a virtue.)
 Yet even a cursory appraisal of Pakistan society suggests (that too much respect
and tolerance does the cause of justice no good whatsoever.)
 Indeed, those of us with influence and the financial means do not know (what the
word patience even means)
 The rich and powerful-for whom time is money-are quite content in the
knowledge that the poor and voiceless will not rise up against the everday
injustice.
 This is notwithstanding the daily diatribes that one hears in affluent leaving rooms
across the country.
 That this is such an integalitarian society is bad enough.
 What we like to think of as cultural uniqueness masks the very real and pervasive
Exercise of power.
 It would be easy to think about such developments in term (of what the French
Thinker E.Durkheim called anomie,or what is known as deviant behaviour).


4. Adverb Clauses:
 Almost every modern society, including this one,would be more human
and just (if respect and tolerance for others was part of our basic
socialization.)
 The latter will continue to loyally nod their head in deference,utter the
standard yes sir/madam and then grovel at the feet of their masters with
out shame (when confronted with crises.)
 (As I pointed out above, all of this is about power).
 (If they were not constantly under the threat of having their honour
compromised or their livelihoods withheld.)
 I would argue against any such explanation (while there is a “culture” of
deference(that is inculcated in most of us from an early age)
 It is not as (if the otherwise silent masses do not express anger and
resentment at the status quo).
 They do so mostly in private spaces (where their patrons can not hear
them, releasing their repressed rage periodically).
 So as to be able to ensure (that they return to their places of work ready to
fulfil the next quota of subservience).
 (if there is to be a happy ending in this tale of two cities,we need first and
formost to empathise with the voiceless masses).
 (if the war against terrorism is to be won failure is not an option if we are
to survive as a nation).

5. Adjective Clauses:
 Spend a little bit of time in any govt. department it become
obvious just(how patient a people we are or should I say how
patient the poor are).
 Just( how dysfunctional the govt. is).
 (how nothing the home actually works).
 Girls and women (who know only obedience to fathers,brothers
and husbands might not be so respectful).
 As I pointed out above, all of this is about power-(who exercises
it,who receiving end of it,and who ultimately benefits from its
prevailing structure).
 As cultural uniqueness makes the very real exercise of power (that
is common to all societies characterized by such gross
classes,gender and other social divisions).
 She represents the resilience of a young spirit for our society(that
is willing to incur sacrifices in the battle for the true spirit of faith)
 Security experts firmly believe that capturing or imprisoning
criminals(who commit violent acts is possible).
 Voiceless masses(that keep this country running.)
