长难句解析

解：状语从句1+主语2+谓语3+宾语4+伴随状语5+状语6+状语7+状语8

析：“Even though ”引导让步状语从句“Even though they had already graduated”，其后为复合句的主句“Wozniak and his friend Allen Baum joined forces with Jobs, at the end of his junior year, to produce a farewell gesture for the departing seniors.”。主句中“at the end of his junior year ”为时间状语，“to produce a farewell gesture”为不定式短语作目的状语，“for the departing seniors”为介宾结构作目的状语。
