Choose the sentence that contains an adjective clause:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → The kite that Rohan made last night got stuck on the water tank.
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Adjective clause:
A clause is a group of words with its own subject and verb. An adjective clause describes a noun just before it. It begins with who, which, that, whose, where or when. Here “that Rohan made last night” has its own subject (Rohan) and verb (made). It tells which kite, so it is an adjective clause.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Nobody knew why the school bus was late that morning. — Incorrect. “Why the school bus was late that morning” is a noun clause. It tells what nobody knew.
Option 2: We will start the match as soon as the rain stops. — Incorrect. “As soon as the rain stops” is an adverb clause. It tells when we will start the match.
Option 3: The girl with the red umbrella is my cousin from Shimla. — Incorrect. “With the red umbrella” has no verb, so it is not a clause. It is an adjective phrase.
