Final answer:
Dependent clauses function as different parts of speech; "when she saw me" is adverbial, "that you admired" is adjectival, and "whatever you want" is nominal within their respective sentences.
Step-by-step explanation:
The task involves matching underlined dependent clauses with the part of speech they function as in the given sentences. An understanding of basic parts of speech such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs is essential to correctly identify the function of these clauses within the sentences.
In the sentence, "She said hello when she saw me," the underlined clause functions as an adverbial clause because it provides context as to when "she said hello." An adverbial clause modifies the verb and answers questions like when, why, or how something happened. In this case, it tells us when she said hello.
For the sentence, "The painting that you admired is mine," the underlined clause acts as an adjectival clause. It modifies the noun "the painting" by specifying which painting is being referred to, performing the role of an adjective within the sentence.
The sentence, "Whatever you want for lunch is fine," incorporates a nominal clause as the subject of the sentence. The clause "Whatever you want" functions as a noun because it is the thing that is fine for lunch. In this context, the nominal clause replaces a noun or acts as the subject.
