In _oral analysis_, call _Julia's_ and _Mary_ modifiers of the subject,
_sister_, because _Julia's_ tells whose sister, and _Mary_ explains sister
by adding another name of the same person. _Her_ is a modifier of the
object, because it tells whose ring is meant.
_Julia's sister Mary_ is the _modified subject_, the predicate is
unmodified, and _her diamond ring_ is the _modified object complement_.
