Combine the following sentences into one sentence using an adjective clause:
Dr Kavita Rao runs the village clinic. She trained in Lucknow.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Dr Kavita Rao, who trained in Lucknow, runs the village clinic.
Joining with an adjective clause between commas:
- An adjective clause with who or which can give extra facts about a named person or thing. It comes right after the name, between commas.
- In the second sentence, “She” means Dr Kavita Rao. So “She” becomes who, and “who trained in Lucknow” comes right after her name.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Dr Kavita Rao, who she trained in Lucknow, runs the village clinic. — Incorrect. The option says “who she trained”. “Who” already takes the place of “she”, so the extra “she” gives “trained” a second subject.
Option 3: Dr Kavita Rao, that trained in Lucknow, runs the village clinic. — Incorrect. A clause between commas that gives extra facts about a named person takes “who”, not “that”. “That” is used only when the clause tells which person is meant. Example: The doctor that treated my sister has moved to Delhi.
Option 4: Dr Kavita Rao runs the village clinic, who trained in Lucknow. — Incorrect. The clause is in the wrong place. It now comes after “the village clinic”, so “who” seems to describe the clinic. A who-clause must come right after the person it describes.
