In the sentence "<span><em>If you finish your yard work, you can take the car to the movie.</em>", the first clause (</span>If you finish your yard work,) is a dependent clause as it depends on the second clause (<span>you can take the car to the movie.) in order to have complete meaning. This sentence starts with <em>If</em> (adverb of condition). An elliptical clause contains the omission of something that is implied. An adjective clause describes nouns and pronouns. A noun clause acts as a pronoun. Because, with the exception of option D, none happen in this sentence, your best answer is option D.</span>
