Question 9 • English Language Arts 10

Read the sentence. Sami especially enjoyed the brownies, which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam-packed with crunchy walnuts . Which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning?

Answer
A
It is an adverbial clause telling why Sami liked the brownies.
B
It is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.
C
It is an independent clause explaining how brownies are made.
D
It is a noun clause stating what Sami likes about brownies.

Explanation

The clause “which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam-packed with crunchy walnuts” begins with “which” and gives more information about the brownies. It is a relative clause describing the brownies’ qualities, not a clause explaining how they are made or why Sami enjoyed them. The correct choice is “It is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.”
