Explanation:

Here's the correct matching of the sentences in List I with the type of clause in List II:

List IList II
(A) My friend helped me when I was in trouble (IV) Adverb clause
(B) I have lost the tickets which I bought. (I) Adjective clause
(C) We knew that he was guilty. (II) Noun clause
(D) I ate the pineapple, and Ravi ate a banana. (III) Independent clause

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."
