1. The sentence can be broken into parts typical of an analytical sentence:  
   - A claim about the author’s technique  
   - Evidence (often in the form of a quote)  
   - An analytical commentary that links the evidence back to the claim

2. In the sentence, notice the structure:  
   - “Hawthorne uses juxtaposition to explain…” identifies **what technique is being used**.  
   - “…how the “richness” of Midas’ golden breakfast was “absolutely good for nothing,” ” provides the **evidence** (the quoted parts).  
   - The underlined part, “$$illustrating\ that\ some\ things\ are\ worth\ more\ than\ gold$$,” is where the writer **analyzes** the evidence by explaining its significance and linking it back to the broader claim.

3. Thus, the underlined portion functions as the **commentary/analysis** section of the analytical sentence. It explains why the evidence matters and how it supports the overall argument or interpretation.
The underlined part is the analysis that explains why the evidence supports the overall argument.
