Question

The report that Sara wrote was on the plight of poor children in Haiti. Which is the adjective clause from this sentence? A) The report B) on the plight C) that Sara wrote D) of poor children in Haiti

Answer 1

The answer is: C) that Sara wrote.

A clause includes a subject, verb and sometimes a complement. As a result, an adjective clause must contain a relative pronoun or adverb, and functions as an adjective, thus modifying a noun and providing further description.

The rest of the options are incorrect because "The report" is a noun; and the expressions "on the plight" and "of poor children in Haiti" are prepositional phrases which lack a subject and a verb.
