...subjects related to... , 和 ...hours devoted to... related和devote分别是什么词性什么用法？

例句1: Male students made up a particularly large proportion of the student group in subjects related to the study of inanimate objects.

例句2: The pie chart show the numbers of hours devoted to various activities in the average working woman's day.

请问，例句1中 ...subjects related to... , 和 例句2中 ...hours devoted to...
related和devote分别是什么词性什么用法，是that省略掉了吗？不然不算是一句话谓语动词重复了吗？

Answer 1

两个都是非谓语作定语，都可以看作是定语从句的变形。原来的从句分别是 that is related to... that are devoted to..., 这里的that分别指的是subject和 hours, 你的句子没有连词所以从句谓语变非谓语，原句是被动的形式，所以非谓语也要用被动的done。
