Question 10 • English 10 B E-Learning
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 a noun clause stating what Sami likes about brownies.
B
It is an adverbial clause telling why Sami liked the brownies.
C
It is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.
D
It is an independent clause explaining how brownies are made.
Explanation
The clause “which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam-packed with crunchy walnuts” begins with “which” and describes the noun “brownies.” That makes it a relative clause, and its details explain the brownies’ qualities. It does not explain how brownies are made or function as a noun clause.
