What is the question??

D is correct, then.

Thanks - :)

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze the sentence structure and the function of the phrase in question.

The phrase "that soften the landing" is providing additional information about the noun "shoes." Its purpose is to describe the shoes.

Now, let's examine the options:

A. Noun clause: A noun clause functions as a noun and can usually be replaced by a simple pronoun like "it" or "them." The phrase in question, however, cannot be replaced by a pronoun, so it is not a noun clause.

B. Adverbial clause: An adverbial clause modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb and usually answers the questions "how," "when," "where," "why," or "to what extent." The phrase in question is not modifying the verb, adjective, or adverb in the sentence, so it is not an adverbial clause.

C. Misplaced modifier: A misplaced modifier occurs when a modifying phrase is positioned in a way that creates confusion or ambiguity. However, in this sentence, the phrase "that soften the landing" is properly placed after the noun it modifies ("shoes"), so it is not a misplaced modifier.

D. Adjectival clause: An adjectival clause, also known as a relative clause, functions as an adjective and provides more information about a noun or pronoun. It is typically introduced by a relative pronoun (e.g., who, whom, whose, which, that). In this case, the phrase "that soften the landing" modifies the noun "shoes" and is introduced by the relative pronoun "that." Therefore, the correct answer is D. adjectival clause.

So, you are correct! The phrase "that soften the landing" is an adjectival clause.
