Complete the following sentence with correct Adjective Clause from the options given below:
Spring is the time of the year.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → When flowers bloom
An adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun, for example a tall tree, the food is tasty.
Complete sentence: Spring is the time of the year when flowers bloom. Here the noun is "the time of the year", a time, so the clause begins with when.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) Rains very badly | It has no subject or relative word, so it is not a clause that can describe "time". | – |
| (2) Where water flows | Where describes a place. "The time of the year" is a time. | – |
| (3) How she walks | A "how" clause tells the manner of an action and works as a noun clause. It cannot describe "time". | – |
| (4) When flowers bloom (answer) | It is a clause that describes a noun, like an adjective. It begins with a relative word: who, which, that, when (for time), where (for place). | I can never forget the day when we first met. |
