Grammar: Adjective

Question:

Complete the following sentence using the Adjective Clause. Choose the correct option from below :

The Sun ________ made the traveller thirsty.

Options:

whom at mid day was heat

which at mid day was hot

where at mid day was hot

when at mid day was hot

Correct Answer:

which at mid day was hot

Explanation:


The correct answer is: OPTION 2 --which at mid day was hot

The sun, which at mid day was hot, made the traveller thirsty.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. In this case, the adjective clause is "which at mid day was hot" and it modifies the noun "sun."

The other three options are not grammatically correct:

  • Whom at mid day was heat: The pronoun "whom" is used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. In this case, it is not clear what the pronoun "whom" is referring to.
  • Where at mid day was hot: The adverb "where" is used to indicate a place. In this case, it does not make sense to say that the sun was "where at mid day was hot."
  • When at mid day was hot: The adverb "when" is used to indicate a time. In this case, it does not make sense to say that the sun was "when at mid day was hot."
