[The reason paper is white] = noun clause used as the subject [is] = the main verb of the sentence because = conjunction introducing a subordinate clause pores = subject of the subordinate clause in its structure = prepositional phrase modifying the subject scatter = verb of the subordinate clause light = direct object of the subordinate clause
1. "that" is omitted after "the reason" 2. "the reason that paper is white " is a noun clause as the subject of the sentence. so the second "is" is the verb of the sentence. 3. "scatter" is a transitive verb in this sentence. It means that it needs an object , scatter something . like the verbs discuss, give, borrow.
