An adjective clause is a subordinate clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. It often starts with relative pronouns like who, whom, whose, which, that or relative adverbs like where, when, why.

  1. A. People who eat too much, die early.

    • Adjective Clause: "who eat too much" modifies the noun "people."
    • Correct.
  2. B. When the sunset, he went back.

    • No adjective clause here; "When the sunset" is an adverbial clause.
    • Incorrect.
  3. C. This is a matter with no importance.

    • No adjective clause here; "with no importance" is a prepositional phrase.
    • Incorrect.
  4. D. The boy who is sitting next to you, is my cousin.

    • Adjective Clause: "who is sitting next to you" modifies the noun "boy."
    • Correct.
  5. E. The dog that barks, does not bite.

    • Adjective Clause: "that barks" modifies the noun "dog."
    • Correct.

Thus, A, D, and E contain adjective clauses.
