The only dependent clause in the passage: <u>who has done some useful work dies.</u>
ANSWER: The underlined dependent clause in the sentences above acts as <u>adjective clause. </u>
An adjective clause always follows the person, place, thing or situation they describe, begins with a relative pronoun (which, that, who, whom, whose), a relative adverb (where, when, why), or a zero relative and has a verb.
