長難句解析

Neville was hanging on to her every word, desperate for anything that might help him hang on to his broomstick later.

解：主語+謂語+賓語+狀語+定語從句

析：①形容詞短語desperate for anything作伴隨狀語。

②定語從句：that might help him hang on to his broomstick later

該從句修飾先行詞anything，關(guān)系代詞that在從句中作主語，that不可被省略，且因先行詞是不定代詞anything，所以that也不可被which替換。
