+Explanation of the Diagram+.--You will notice that the lines standing for
the subject and predicate of the _independent clause_ are heavier than
those of the _dependent clause_. This pictures to you the relative
importance of the two clauses. You will see that the pronoun _who_ is
written on the subject line of the dependent clause. But this word performs
the office of a conjunction also, and this office is expressed in the
diagram by a dotted line. As all modifiers are joined by _slanting_ lines,
to the words they modify, you learn from this diagram that _who is wise_ is
a modifier of _man_.

+Oral Analysis+.--This is a _complex sentence_, because it consists of an
_independent clause_ and a _dependent clause_. _A man will be honored_ is
_the independent clause_; _who is wise_ is the _dependent clause_. _Man_ is
the subject of the independent clause; _will be honored_ is the predicate.
The word _A_ and the clause, _who is wise_, are modifiers of the subject.
