The cat whom we are watching just caught a mouse!

• A. It contains a prepositional phrase.
• B. It contains an adjectival clause.
• C. It contains an adverbial clause.
• D. It contains a noun clause.

Hint:

Relative pronouns like \textbf{who, whom, which, that} usually introduce adjectival clauses.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the subordinate clause in the sentence. The clause is “whom we are watching”.
Step 2: This clause begins with the relative pronoun whom.
Step 3: A clause that begins with a relative pronoun and describes a noun is an adjectival clause.
Step 4: In this sentence, the clause “whom we are watching” describes the noun cat.
Step 5: Therefore, the sentence contains an adjectival clause.
