Question

Which word should the adjective clause go next to?
A. tricks
B. teacher
C. school
D. Mr. Peat

Answer 1

The adjective clause should go next to the word A. 'tricks'.

Step-by-step explanation:

An adjective clause, also known as a relative clause, functions as an adjective within a sentence. It begins with a relative pronoun (e.g., who, whom, whose, which, or that) or a relative adverb (e.g., where, when, or why). This clause provides additional information about a noun and is essential to the meaning of the sentence.

For example, in the sentence "The book that is on the shelf is mine," the adjective clause "that is on the shelf" modifies the noun "book. In the given case, the adjective clause should go next to the word tricks. The adjective clause describes the magic tricks that Mr. Peat does. So, the correct sentence would be: Mr. Peat does great magic tricks and is a teacher at my school.

Answer 2

The example sentence should read:
Mr. Peat, who is a teacher at my school, does great magic tricks.

We usually use relative clauses to give additional details about something without starting a new sentence. In this case, the original sentence consists of the following clauses:
Mr. Peat does great magic tricks
Mr. Peat is a teacher at my school.

Since the original example sentence uses the relative pronoun who, we know that the additional information that is given is about the person in the sentence, hence the clause should be right next to Mr. Peat. This explains why option D is your best answer.
