Identify the following Clause:Fatima, whose mom is a nurse, sits behind me in class.
Correct answer: D. Non essential clause
- A. Noun clause
- B. Essential adjective clause
- C. Adverb clause
- D. Non essential clause
Explanation
Non-essential Clause (Correct): A non-essential adjective clause provides additional information about a noun or pronoun but is not necessary to identify it. Here, the clause "whose mom is a nurse" gives extra information about Fatima but isn't essential to understand who she is in the context of the sentence.
