Fill in the blank with the correct adjective clause:
The jar of lemon pickle ______ is already half empty.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → which Nani sent from Lucknow last month
Adjective clause for a thing:
- An adjective clause describes the noun just before it. For a thing, it begins with which or that and has its own subject and a full verb.
- Complete sentence: The jar of lemon pickle which Nani sent from Lucknow last month is already half empty.
- The clause tells which jar is half empty. “Which” is the object of “sent”, so no other object is needed.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: where Nani sent from Lucknow last month — Incorrect. A where-clause describes a place. A jar of pickle is not a place.
Option 2: which Nani sent it from Lucknow last month — Incorrect. “Which” already stands for the jar and is the object of “sent”. The extra “it” gives the verb a second object.
Option 3: which Nani sending from Lucknow last month — Incorrect. “Sending” alone is not a full verb. A clause needs a verb that shows tense, such as “sent”.
