(1) Machines are complete mysteries to me, and this has resulted in some embarrassing service calls at my home. (2) For example,

there was the time I called in a repairman because our refrigerator was too warm. (3) Imagine my humiliation when he told me that the cause of the problem was a dirty filter, which I didn’t know existed and therefore hadn’t cleaned even once in the two years we owned the refrigerator. (4) The best example of my brilliance with machines, however, has to be the time I called for someone to fix my washing machine. (5) The repairman’s solution was simply to put the plug back in the outlet, from which it had been jarred loose by the constant vibration of the washer.
The tone of this passage is


a. straightforward.

b. disbelieving.

c. self-mocking.

c) self- mocking

The girl sounds like she's embarrassed with herself. She says, "imagine my humiliation", which means she's mocking herself. She's also sarcastic saying," the best example of my brilliance" was when all she had to do was put the plug back in the outlet.

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.
