Question

Select the entire correct adjective clause for the sentence below. Then select which word is modified by the clause.

Answer 1

Answer:

Adjective clause: whom I remember vaguely.

Word modified by clause: man

Explanation:

Adjective clause is a type of dependent clause which is used to describe a noun or a pronoun in a sentence. Its similarity with an adjective is that it functions like an adjective in describing or modifying the noun or pronoun in the sentence.

Adjective clause is made of a group of words instead of one word and  usually begins  with a relative pronoun. The relative pronoun connects them to the word they describe.

In the given sentence, we discover that the adjective clause is whom I remember vaguely.

It begins with the relative pronoun, whom. It modifies the noun, man.

An adjective clause, also known as a relative clause, is a type of dependent clause that works to describe a noun in a sentence. It functions as an adjective even though it is made up of a group of words instead of just one word.
