长难句解析

Neville was hanging on to her every word, desperate for anything that might help him hang on to his broomstick later.

解：主语+谓语+宾语+状语+定语从句

析：①形容词短语desperate for anything作伴随状语。

②定语从句：that might help him hang on to his broomstick later

该从句修饰先行词anything，关系代词that在从句中作主语，that不可被省略，且因先行词是不定代词anything，所以that也不可被which替换。
