Explanations:
- Adverb clause: Modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb, often indicating time, place, cause, manner, condition, or purpose. In (A), "when I was in trouble" tells us when the helping action occurred.
- Adjective clause: Modifies a noun or pronoun, providing more information about it. In (B), "which I bought" specifies which tickets were lost.
- Noun clause: Functions as a noun in a sentence, often acting as a subject, object, or complement. In (C), "that he was guilty" acts as the direct object of the verb "knew."
- Independent clause: Can stand alone as a complete sentence, expressing a complete thought. In (D), both "I ate the pineapple" and "Ravi ate a banana" are independent clauses joined by the coordinating conjunction "and."
