in the park.( pick out the clause and state its kind)​

Answer 1

A clause is a part of a larger sentence containing a subject and a predicate of its own.

A Principal Clause is an independent clause which can exist even without a subordinate clause. A Subordinate Clause is called a dependent clause because it cannot exist without the help of the principal clause. It begins with a subordinating conjunction.

In this sentence, 'I want to know' is the principal clause and 'how far it is from here' is the subordinate clause.

The subordinate clause acts as the object of the infinitive 'to know', there by acting as a noun. Hence, it becomes a subordinate noun clause.

So, Option C becomes correct and the other three options cancel out.
