Fill in the blank with the correct adjective clause:
On the way to Shimla, our bus stopped at a highway dhaba ______.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → where we could get fresh parathas
Adjective clause after a noun of place:
- After a noun of place, an adjective clause can begin with where. Here “where” means “at which”.
- Complete sentence: On the way to Shimla, our bus stopped at a highway dhaba where we could get fresh parathas.
- The clause describes the noun “dhaba”. It tells what kind of dhaba it was.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: where we could get there fresh parathas — Incorrect. “Where” already means “at that dhaba”. The extra “there” says the place twice.
Option 2: which we could get fresh parathas — Incorrect. We did not get the dhaba. We got parathas at the dhaba, so “which” needs “at” before it: “at which”.
Option 4: where could we get fresh parathas — Incorrect. The option says “where could we get”. This is question order. Inside a clause, the words stay in statement order: “where we could get”.
