Type of clause definition.

It follows two sisters—one is devoted to her faith, the other devoted to her work.

Is this classed as an introductory clause: what defines it as such ? Where is the main clause ?


The result is almost the perfect ideal of a reeboot—it's fierce, it's lean, and has good moments.


These two sentences separated by a em dash ? The way it's referencing the result and then leads into it as apposed to say: The result is fierce, lean, and has good moments: the perfect reeboot.

Any term for this sort of structure ? Technically shouldn't this be two separate sentences or semi-colon.

The second sentence has a similar structure, which would be okay, but it's questionable because of some of the wording and usage.
