Verse 40: …………….. with the size of the whole earth, the highest mountain does not seem high at all.

Knowledge: Past participle clauses

Explain:

When two clauses in a sentence have the same subject “the highest mountain – it”, we can reduce a clause to P2 form when the clause has a passive meaning.

Full sentence: When the highest mountain is compared with the size of the whole earth, it does not seem high at all.

Short: When compared with the size of the whole earth, the highest mountain does not seem high at all.

When compared to the size of the whole Earth, the tallest mountain doesn’t seem to be high at all.
