Which sentence contains a relative clause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The woman who lives next door plays the violin.
- Step 1: A relative clause gives extra information about a noun and starts with who, which, that, whose, where or when.
- Step 2: 'The woman who lives next door' has 'who lives next door' as a relative clause.
Answer
The woman who lives next door plays the violin.
Why not the others: The woman plays the violin every evening.: This sentence has only one clause. Playing the violin, the woman smiled.: The phrase 'Playing the violin' is a participle phrase. The woman smiled and played the violin.: This joins two verbs but has no relative clause.
