Choose the appropriate sentence with the Adjective Clause:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) - That was the reason why he came late.
Option 1: "I have a box, filled with almonds."
-
“filled with almonds” is a participial phrase, not a clause (it lacks a subject and verb structure).
-
Not an adjective clause.
Option 2: "He told us the time of his arrival."
-
No clause modifying a noun here. Just a noun phrase: “the time of his arrival.”
-
Not an adjective clause.
Option 3: "We all admire a man of courage."
-
“of courage” is a prepositional phrase, not a clause.
-
Not an adjective clause.
Option 4: "That was the reason why he came late."
-
The clause “why he came late” modifies the noun “reason.”
-
It tells us more about the reason — this is a classic adjective clause.
