Where is this word located in?

Hi teachers,

Excerpts:

If you'd look up, there's a crazy word engraved right there in the wood below the dais where the speaker sits. It says TOLERANCE.

I understand dias is like the pulpit, but where is this word located?

Thank you.

  • "in the wood below the dais".
  • Which part of that don't you understand?
  • It's vague, but apparently there is some wood below the dais and someone has carved the word TOLERANCE into this wood with a knife or some kind of tool of that nature.
  • I don't think we can get more specific than that.

Hi CalifJim,

"...where the speaker sits"

A dais is supposed to be like a pulpit, and the speaker would have to stand behind the dais to give a speech, his or her lower body partially would not be seen if the front part of wood facing the audience is big.

I don't understand why the sentence said "sits", and what does "where....." modify? The wood or the dais?
