Identify the type of the underlined clause in the following sentence:
On the night before the exam, keep your admit card where you can find it easily.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Adverb clause
The clause tells where to keep the admit card, and it goes with the verb keep.
| Clause | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Noun clause | works as the subject or object of a verb. Here the verb “keep” already has its object, “your admit card” | I do not know where she lives. |
| (2) Adjective clause | describes a noun that comes just before it. In this sentence “where” does not follow any noun of place | This is the shop where my uncle works. |
| (3) Adverb clause (answer) | a group of words with its own subject and verb that does the work of an adverb. It tells when, where, why or how an action happens (here, an adverb clause of place) | Sit where the teacher can see you. |
| (4) Principal clause | the main clause, which makes full sense on its own. “Where you can find it easily” does not make sense alone | We stayed at home because it was raining. |
