The underlined part of the following sentence is an adverb clause of:
Our ten-year-old cooler still cools the room as well as the new one in Chacha’s flat does.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Comparison
The first “as well” belongs to the main clause. The underlined clause compares how well the old cooler works with how well the new one works.
| Option | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Comparison (answer) | compares two people or things; it comes after than or after as ... as | Meera runs faster than her elder brother does. |
| (2) Manner | tells in what way something is done; here “as” is the second half of “as well as” | Fold the paper as the teacher showed you. |
| (3) Reason | tells why something happens; the clause gives no cause for the cooling | As it was raining heavily, we stayed indoors. |
| (4) Time | tells when something happens | Just as the bus turned the corner, the rain started. |
