Question

The teacher asked many questions "but no one could answer”. Identify the underlined part of the sentence as, the (a) coordinate clause (b) subordinate clause (c) main clause (d) relative clause​

Answer 1

Answer:

The teacher asked many questions "but no one could answer”

The teacher asked many questions= main clause

but no one could answer = coordinate clause

Explanation:

A coordinate clause is a clause starting with one of the coordinating conjunctions--most commonly and or but. A compound sentence usually has compound clause/s.  

A COMPOUND SENTENCE is a sentence that is made up of two or more independent clauses. There are no dependent clauses in it. The independent clauses in a compound sentence are joined by coordinating conjunctions such as ‘or’, ‘and’ or ‘but’. For example, I really wanted to play the match, but I was too sick to stand even.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The underlined part of the sentence is (a) coordinate clause. 'But' is one of Co-ordinating Conjunctions.

• Coordinate clause makes compound sentences.

• A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses. Here two independent clauses are : 'The teacher asked many questions' and 'no one could answer'. 'But' has been used to connect them.

• Therefore coordinate clause is correct.
