| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) who read scripture. | It is an adjective clause, but it changes the proverb into a claim that God helps only those who read holy books. | – |
| (2) who go place of worship. | It is ungrammatical: "go to a place of worship" needs "to a". It also changes the meaning of the proverb. | – |
| (3) who help themselves. (answer) | An adjective clause does the work of an adjective: it describes a noun or pronoun and usually begins with who, which or that. "God helps those who help themselves" is the well-known proverb: God helps people who work hard for themselves instead of waiting for help. | The boy who won the race is my brother. |
| (4) who fast one day in a week. | It ties God's help to a religious practice (fasting). The proverb is about self-effort. | – |
