If we parse out to "schools are not eligible" - would "not" be considered a modifier? It seems pretty integral to the point of the argument. I'm trying to see how far down we can parse before losing the true meaning of the text. I feel like I'm often pretty overzealous with grammar parsing. Any ideas?
I understand, but im beginning to worry. Can breaking it down this much overcomplicate questions if you are able to naturally interpret them? I of course understand complex questions may be more difficult, just wondering if anyone else is thinking this.
@EricPreneta This will probably be more useful in the RC section than LR but some of the stims in the LR section are convoluted so it may help you to get to the meat and potatoes quicker.
@JosephAmoAppiah I was thinking of this, the first "that" is modifying the subject-noun "Schools". If you ask yourself, what schools? Then you can say "schools that fail to provide adequate facilities for physical education".
The team that (modifier) wins the championship will have an opportunity for a parade. The city is really looking forward to that opportunity (refers back to the parade).
The top players of all time that (modifier) make the most money have the biggest sponsorships. That (refers back to 'sponsorships') is a key reason they (another referential phrase referring back to the players) make so much money.
The game of basketball has evolved so much that (modifier) it is unrecognizable from basketball played 50 years ago. That (referring back to the evolution -- remember evolution is modified) has become a controversy between modern and older players.
Coaches in the NBA have a hard time dealing with media that (modifier) constantly questions their (referring to the coaches) abilities. But, that (referring to dealing with media) is part of the job.
The uniforms players wear have become a means of revenue that (modifier) also promotes brands. Additionally, that (referring to uniforms becoming a means of revenue and branding) has allowed teams to be creative in their (referring to teams) designs with uniforms.

Wrestlers that perform a package piledriver get suspended. That isn't fair for those that perform a tombstone. They're both similar moves.
"that" from first sentence modifies "Wrestlers"
"That" in second sentence refers to first sentence.
"those" in second sentence refers to "Wrestlers"
"They're" refers to "package piledriver" and "tombstone"

@sylviaweiher I would assume that that would not work as it would completely switch the outcome of the text to be the opposite from its truw meaning.
Love the grammatical analysis, but 'that' doesn't even look like a real word anymore.
Im so confused now

This helped me understand my previous comment :-)
@jaydenca Growth detected!
is the first that introducing the modifiers or is it the modifier?

@deji thanks. great explanation
The word "that" can be used as a modifier and a referential. But, that confuses me.
"That" was two sentences.
@AkinAbioye when did you submit your application applications?
well THAT was confusing
@milesb123 THAT is true
@MohussinAbakar I agree with THAT statement
0:10 "Why is that?" if this is used as a referential and it was intentional well played... *slow clap*
When would you practically do this in a timed setting? Or is the goal to internalize the analysis, so it becomes rote?
right?
The goal is to internalize it so that you can identify these things intuitively
Let's look at some basketball examples:
The team that (modifier) wins the championship will have an opportunity for a parade. The city is really looking forward to that opportunity (refers back to the parade).
The top players of all time that (modifier) make the most money have the biggest sponsorships. That (refers back to 'sponsorships') is a key reason they (another referential phrase referring back to the players) make so much money.
