Question:

Identify the Adjective Clause in the given sentence:-

The king ordered that the monster that was terrorising the village be put in the dungeons.

Options:

terrorising the village

that was terrorising the village

put in dungeons

the king ordered that

Correct Answer:

that was terrorising the village

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - that was terrorising the village

An adjective clause (also known as a relative clause) modifies a noun and provides more information about it.
In this sentence, the clause "that was terrorising the village" modifies the noun "monster," giving additional information about which monster is being referred to.

OTHER OPTIONS

"terrorising the village" → This is a participial phrase, not a full clause.
"put in dungeons" → This is a verb phrase, not an adjective clause.
"the king ordered that" → This is part of the main clause of the sentence.
