+Explanation of the Diagram+.--You will notice that the diagram of the
_phrase_ is made up of a slanting line, standing for the introductory and
connecting word, and a horizontal line, representing the principal word.
Under the latter, are placed the little slanting lines standing for the
modifiers of the principal word. Here and elsewhere all modifiers are
joined to their principal words by slanting lines.

+Oral Analysis+.--This is a sentence, because ------; _trout_ is the
subject, because -----; _are caught_ is the predicate, because ------; the
words _The_ and _finest_, and the phrase, _in the lake_, are modifiers of
the subject, because -----; the word _generally_ and the phrase, _in the
deepest water_, are modifiers of the predicate, because ------; _in_
introduces the first phrase, and _lake_ is the principal word; _in_
introduces the second phrase, and _water_ is the principal word; _the_ and
_deepest_ are modifiers of _water_; _The finest trout in the lake_ is the
modified subject, and _are generally caught in the deepest water_ is the
modified predicate.
