Identify the Adjective Clause in the given sentence:-
The king ordered that the monster that was terrorising the village be put in the dungeons.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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.
