Triangular image of plot line separated into sections beginning with middle indicating a start in the middle of the story follow

Aleks [24]

According to what you are describing, the plot device used is the "in media res"

This technique In Media Res means " in the middle of things", and that is exactly how it works, in media res is to start a story in the middle of the story itself instead of its beginning, that is, start the story of the facts showing the characters already involved in the conflict that structures the story, using this technique allows a more dramatic beginning of narration: the story will begin with the protagonist already in trouble, and with this we will capture the interest of the reader from the first moment.

The Egyptologist, who had worked with the business person, was convinced that King Tut's tomb was in the Valley of the Kings.

Ivanshal [37]

Since nothing is underlined, I am going to make an educated guess that the underlines clause is "who had worked with the business person". If that is the case, the correct answer would be D - adjective clause. It is a relative clause, to be more precise, because it starts with a relative pronoun "who", but that is a part of adjectival clauses, so that is the correct answer.
