谢谢

Answer 1

Mean while,(组合词组，做状语) many settles （主语）had （谓语动词，过去时态）slighter （比较级）religious commitments （宾语）than （引出比较成分，做状语）Dane’s,（被比较部分） as （引出状语从句，意思：正如...那样）one clergyman （从句的主语）learned （从句的谓语动词，过去式）in confronting folk （介词短语做状语，修饰动词‘learn’）along the coast （介词短语做状语，修饰动词‘learn’）who （引出定语从句，修饰‘one clergyman’）mocked （定语从句的谓语动词）that （引出宾语从句）they （宾语从句的主语）had not come （宾语从句的谓语动词，过去完成时）to the New world （介词短语做状语）for religion （介词短语做状语）.
