Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Choose the correct sentence with an Adjective Clause.

Options:

He tells a tale that sounds untrue.

They fought as heroes do.

I fear that I shall fall.

I can run faster than you.

Correct Answer:

He tells a tale that sounds untrue.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → He tells a tale that sounds untrue.

The correct sentence with an Adjective Clause is: "He tells a tale that sounds untrue."

  1. "He tells a tale that sounds untrue."

    • Adjective Clause: "that sounds untrue"
    • This clause describes the noun "tale", making it an adjective clause.
  2. "They fought as heroes do."

    • Clause: "as heroes do" (Adverbial Clause, not Adjective Clause)
    • It describes how they fought, so it's an adverb clause, not an adjective clause.
  3. "I fear that I shall fall."

    • Clause: "that I shall fall" (Noun Clause)
    • It acts as the object of the verb "fear", making it a noun clause.
  4. "I can run faster than you."

    • Clause: "than you" (Adverbial Clause)
    • It compares running speed, making it an adverb clause, not an adjective clause.
