Hi Arti.... ok... that sentence is very clearly and obviously missing a word. The sentence is NOT correctly written to begin with, so it's totally understandable why you're confused. The first sentence isn't perfect, but the grammar is 'acceptable'. Second sentence OUGHT to read = THE members who WERE elected to public office, all served as democrats. (And I absolutely would not capitalize 'democrat' because it's a common noun). 'Its' should be 'the', because 'a family' in English, are people, and not things. It's kinda rude to call a person an 'it' or a bunch of people 'its'. haha.

Your second sentence is impossible to parse. A sentence needs to have a subject and a verb but in this sentence it is impossible to determine either one. Is the subject "who" or "members"? Is the verb "elected" or "served"?. Is "who" a subject or an object? If it were intended to be an object, it would have to be "whom". I am guessing that you intended to say this: "Among its members, those elected to public office served as Democrats" "Elected" is a past participle working as an adjective. The clause "elected to public office" acts as an adjective to modify "those". The verb in your sentence is "served" and the subject is "those".

ok!!!! Thank you!!!
