Question

Exercise 2. Say whether the underlined clauses in the following passage are noun, adjective or adverb clauses:

A little girl said that she did not like roses because a rose has thorns. Whenever she plucked a rose, its thorns scratched her. Sometimes her dress also got torn. She wondered why the flower god had given a rose those awful thorns.

Her mother said, "My dear, if there were no thorns, the cows and goats would eat the flowers up. The thorns which you do not like protect the flowers from animals. When the flower god made the rose, it was so beautiful that he had to give it thorns to save it. The rose has thorns because it is so beautiful and precious. All those things that you consider to be beautiful have to be treated in a special way."




What is the answers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The underlined clause is a dependent one which describes the noun "man" in the sentence. Therefore it is an adjective clause and Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not describe the noun, hence incorrect.
