Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Choose the sentence that does not have an Adjective Clause -

Options:

I am the monarch of all I survey.

A city on a hill cannot be hid.

He laughs best who laughs last.

Here is the box you wanted.

Correct Answer:

A city on a hill cannot be hid.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - A city on a hill cannot be hid.

A city on a hill cannot be hid. This sentence does not contain an adjective clause. An adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun, and none of the words in this sentence function as such.

I am the monarch of all I survey. - "all I survey" is an adjective clause modifying "monarch."

He laughs best who laughs last. - "who laughs last" is an adjective clause modifying "he."

Here is the box you wanted. - "you wanted" is an adjective clause modifying "box."
