Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Choose the option that serves as an Adjective Clause in the sentence:

The boy, whom you see bowling is my cousin.

Options:

whom you see bowling

is my cousin

the boy whom

you see bowling

Correct Answer:

whom you see bowling

Explanation:
 

The correct option that serves as an Adjective Clause in the sentence is OPTION 1  "whom you see bowling".

Here's why:

  • "Whom you see bowling" provides additional information about the subject "the boy" and modifies it by describing him as the one bowling.
  • "Is my cousin" is the main clause and states the relationship between the subject and the object.
  • "The boy whom" is incomplete and requires further information to function as an adjective clause.
  • "You see bowling" is a phrase and not a clause.

Therefore, "whom you see bowling" is the only option that acts as an adjective clause, modifying and providing additional information about the subject in the sentence.
