Question

is the group of words in bold a phrase or a clause? the farmers almanac, an annual publication that includes long - range weather predictions, calculates forecasts using astronomical information and mathematical formulas.

Explanation:

To determine if the bolded group is a phrase or clause, we analyze: A clause has a subject and a verb, while a phrase does not. The bolded part "that includes long - range weather predictions, calculates forecasts using astronomical information and mathematical formulas" contains a subject ("that", referring to "The Farmers' Almanac") and a verb ("includes" and "calculates"). So it has a subject - verb relationship, making it a clause.

Answer:

It is a clause.
