Naturalist and Environmentalist, John Muir had a very romantic almost religious view of the nature. To Muir, the trees were divine and Americans had a moral and ethical duty to save them. He defined the redwoods as Christ-figures being crucified by men: <em>"Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot defend themselves or run away. And few destroyers of trees ever plant any; nor can planting avail much toward restoring our grand aboriginal giants. It took more than three thousand years to make some of the oldest of the Sequoias, trees that are still standing in perfect strength and beauty, waving and singing in the mighty forests of the Sierra. Through all the eventful centuries since Christ's time, and long before that, God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand storms; but he cannot save them from sawmills and fools; this is left to the American people." </em> He makes a connection between the reader and trees by personifying the trees and making them able to feel both joy and pain,<em>"Waving its branches for joy". </em>He also argues: <em>“Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away; and if they could, they would still be destroyed.” </em>

Which of the following sentences contain an adverb clause?
Jlenok [28]
The correct answer is:  [A]:  
________________________________________________________
                   "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
________________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Note that one (1) feature of an "adverb clause" is that an "adverb clause" must begin with a "subordinating conjunction".
________________________________________________________
The only answer choices provided that meet this criterion are:
________________________________________________________
 Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

 In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"— which is—" if ".
________________________________________________________
Choice:  [C]:  " Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today ".

In this sentence, there is a "subordinating conjunction"
— which is—"Because" .
________________________________________________________
Note the other criteria for "adverb clauses" — as follows:
________________________________________________________
1)  Adverb clauses are "modifiers". 

2)  Adverb clauses contain both a subject AND a verb.

3)  Adverb clauses, on their own, do not form complete sentences.
_______________________________________________________
Consider:  Choice:  [C]:  
_______________________________________________________
         "Because of the defensive driving lessons, I am probably a better driving today."
 
     →  Note:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction—"Because" (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
    "Because of the defense driving lessons" ; 

→  This is NOT an "adverb clause".  An "adverb clause" must contain BOTH  a "noun" AND a "verb"— and this particular clause does NOT contain a "verb".

Rule out "Choice: [C] " .
___________________________________________________________
Consider:
 
"Choice:  [A]:  "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 

   →  <u>Note</u>:  Since the particular clause beings with the "subordinating conjunction"—" if " (in this case) — consider the phrase:
_______________________________________________________
     " if they do not study ." 
_______________________________________________________

→  Note the following:
_______________________________________________________
      1)  This clause contains BOTH a "noun" —which is:  "they" (a subject pronoun referring to "people");  AND a "verb" —which is: "do [not] study" .

      2)  This clause modifies "people" . 
 
      3)  This clause is a NOT a sentence if it stands alone.
___________________________________________________________
Thus;  this very answer choice:  "Answer choice:  [A]:
__________________________________________________________
       →    "People will not get ahead if they do not study." 
__________________________________________________________
               →  is the only sentence — 
                     (among the answer choices provided) — 
                     that:   1)   is an "adverb clause" ; AND:               
                     that:   2)    is the correct answer.
