Question

Read the text and answer the following question. A relative pronoun renames the word that the adjective clause describes. For example, in the following sentence: Baseball is a sport that many people enjoy. The word "that" renames the word "sport". How do I know? Split the sentence up into two sentences. Baseball is a sport. Many people enjoy the sport. The phrase "the sport" in the second sentence is replaced by the relative pronoun, "that", which is then moved to the front of the clause. What is the main idea in the text? Baseball is a sport that many people enjoy. Relative pronouns rename words that adjectives describe. "That" should be moved to the front of the clause.

Answer 1

Relative pronouns rename words that adjectives describe.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you read the text, you will see that it has nothing to do with basketball - the word basketball is used only as an example to describe what relative pronouns are, which makes the first option incorrect.

The last option is also incorrect as 'that' doesn't have to be at the front of a clause.

What is correct is that this text is about relative pronouns. As the option says, relative pronouns rename words that adjectives describe. Here, the adjective, or adjective clause is that many people enjoy, which starts with the relative pronoun that and renames the word sport which is described by the adjective.
