Problem
• List any embedded clauses both inside the ranking clauses, as well as writing each one separately below the clause listing (so each embedded clause will appear twice).
• Indicate the function of each embedded clause (eg is it modifying a nominal group, functioning as an entire nominal group, modifying the nominal group in a prepositional phrase etc).
Christchurch is the garden city of New Zealand. Wherever you go, you will find broad leafy avenues, sweeping parks and vibrant flower-filled gardens. Christchurch is bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east and by the Waimakariri River to the north, but sprawls comfortably towards the plains in the west, and rises up into the Port Hills in the south. Fringed by vineyards, apple orchards and market gardens, Christchurch has a long-standing partnership with the wider Canterbury region that provides for its expanding commercial and industrial development. The city combines the tradition of heritage buildings with modern contemporary architecture.
