Question

How is the relative pronoun in the adjective clause used in the sentence?

I ate a snack of almonds, which satisfied my hunger.



A.
object of a preposition


B.
subject


C.
possessive


D.
direct object

Answer 1

The correct answer for this would be option D. Based on the given sentence above, the word "which" is considered as the relative pronoun in the adjective clause, and this is used as a direct object. It is a direct object since the snack of almonds, which satisfied my hunger, receives the action of the verb "Ate". Hope this helps.
