Explanation
- "Wherever there is a large American city" is an adverb clause because: - It begins with the subordinating conjunction "wherever" - It has a subject (there) and a verb (is) - It functions as an adverb, modifying the verb "will be" and indicating the location or condition under which poverty exists - It cannot stand alone as a complete sentenceThe adverb clause "Wherever there is a large American city" provides additional information about the circumstances or conditions under which poverty will be present.Note: Adverb clauses typically begin with subordinating conjunctions like "wherever", "whenever", "if", or "unless", and modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this case, the adverb clause "Wherever there is a large American city" modifies the verb "will be".
