Identify the Adjective clause in the following sentence:

A man whose habits are industrious, is sure to succeed.

whose habits are industrious

The correct answer is Option (3) - whose habits are industrious

An Adjective Clause (also called a Relative Clause) is a dependent clause that describes a noun. It usually begins with who, whom, whose, which, or that and provides more information about a noun in the main clause.

 "A man whose habits are industrious, is sure to succeed."

• Noun being described: "A man"
• Adjective Clause: "whose habits are industrious" (modifies "a man" by telling us more about him)

OTHER OPTIONS

 "A man" → This is just the subject of the sentence, not an adjective clause.

"is sure to succeed" → This is the main clause (independent clause) that states the result, not an adjective clause.

 "is sure" → This is part of the main clause but does not describe a noun.
