Question

Read each sentence. If the underlined group of words is an adverb clause, select the box. A) Aunt Carmen visited a berry farm because she wanted the freshest strawberries possible. B) If she bakes a strawberry tart for my birthday, everyone will thank her. C) The pies that Aunt Carmen bakes have won many awards.

Answer 1

Sentences A and B contains adverb clauses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Adverb clauses are those clauses that modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. They are also dependent clauses and usually begin with a subordinating conjunction.

Sentence A contains an adverb clause "because she wanted the freshest strawberries possible". This clause describes why Aunt Carmen went to the berry farm.

Likewise, sentence B also has an adverb clause "if she bakes a strawberry tart for my birthday".

On the other hand, sentence C doesn't have an adverb clause, rather it has an adjective clause-"that Aunt Carmen bakes".

Thus, sentence A and B have adverb clauses.
