Answer 1

Hello. You did not underline any words, so to help you I have listed all the adjective clauses that each sentence presents.

1. lowest score

2. who are very wealthy

3. matches is dangerous

Step-by-step explanation:

As you may already know, an adjective is a word that characterizes another word, giving it qualities, appearance and describing it. For example: In the phrase "The dog is black", the word "black" is the adjective, which is characterizing the word "dog".

An adjective clause, follows this same concept, however, the clause is formed by a subject and a verb, which together have the ability to characterize something even more efficiently.
