Complete the following sentence using the Adjective Clause. Choose the correct option from below :
The Sun ________ made the traveller thirsty.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → which at mid day was hot
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Complete sentence: The Sun which at mid day was hot made the traveller thirsty. An adjective clause describes a noun, just as an adjective does. Here it describes the Sun.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) whom at mid day was heat | "whom" is used for persons, and only as an object. The Sun is a thing and is the subject of the clause. "was heat" uses a noun where an adjective is needed. | – |
| (2) which at mid day was hot (answer) | It begins with a relative pronoun:
| The book which you lent me was very useful. |
| (3) where at mid day was hot | "where" introduces a place ("the town where I live"). The clause here describes the Sun itself, not a place. | – |
| (4) when at mid day was hot | "when" refers to a time ("the day when we met"), and the clause is left without a subject for "was hot". | – |
