Passage 

Plato, the famous Greek philosopher, taught that the things of the world around us are merely copies or "shadows" of greater, eternal realities. He used a metaphor of people living inside a cave to convey his ideas. The people inside the cave could not see the world outside the cave, they could only see shadows of people and animals as they passed by. Plato was suggesting that the shadows would seem very real and alive to the people inside the cave, because that was all they had ever seen of the outside world. But these shadows were not the real, living creatures of the outside world, they were merely reflections of them. Plato's point was that this temporal world is a____________ some greater, eternal reality.

Explanation

The correct option is: This is the only one of his poems that is worth reading.

In this sentence, the verb "is" agrees with the singular noun "one."

The phrase "of his poems" modifies "one," but it doesn't change the singular nature of the subject.

Therefore, the singular verb form "is" is correct.

Noun Clause: A noun clause functions as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence.

In this case, "why she was late for the meeting" is explaining the content of what was explained, functioning as the direct object of the verb "explained."

Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

"HERE" modifies the verb "come" by indicating the direction or place.
