Question

I like reading novels that bring to life events in history. Which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning? It describes the type of novel the speaker likes. It explains why the speaker likes to read nonfiction. It gives information about the subject of the sentence. It provides information about the verb in the sentence.

Answer 1

Answer:  It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.

Explanation:

In this sentence, the speaker tells us that he likes to read. He also informs us about which particular kind of novels he likes - those that bring to life events in history. The clause "that bring to life events in history" does not provide information about the subject of the sentence, because it describes the noun "novels", the object of the sentence. It also does not give us information about the verb. The speaker never mentions nonfiction in his statement, hence the correct answer is A: It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.
