Choose the sentence in which the adjective clause is used correctly:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → The tailor who stitched my school uniform has moved his shop to the next lane.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjective clause:
An adjective clause describes a noun. It stands right after that noun and begins with the right word: who for people, which or that for things. Here “who stitched my school uniform” comes right after “the tailor”, a person, and tells which tailor.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: The bus left without us that goes to Ooty at nine every morning. — Incorrect. The clause describes “the bus”, but it stands after “us”, far from the bus.
Corrected: The bus that goes to Ooty at nine every morning left without us.
Option 3: The bridge who connects the two villages was washed away in the floods. — Incorrect. A bridge is a thing, so the clause needs “which” or “that”, not “who”.
Corrected: The bridge which connects the two villages was washed away in the floods.
Option 4: The sweets that Mausi brought from Agra they were finished in a single day. — Incorrect. “The sweets” is already the subject of “were finished”. The extra “they” repeats the subject.
Corrected: The sweets that Mausi brought from Agra were finished in a single day.
