Answer 2

To determine the type of clause in each sentence, we need to understand the function of the underlined part.

1. The underlined part of sentence 1 is "that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death." This clause gives more information about the subject "creatures." It acts as the object of the reporting verb "report." In this case, it functions as a noun clause because it functions as the object of the sentence.

2. The underlined part of sentence 2 is "wherever there are animal droppings." This clause provides a condition or circumstance for something else to happen. It describes the location where something occurs. Since it modifies the verb "is," it functions as an adverbial clause.

3. The underlined part of sentence 3 is "that feeds the bottom dwellers." This clause describes the action of the subject "rain of organic matter." It acts as an adjective, providing additional information about the organic matter. Therefore, it functions as an adjectival clause.

Based on the explanations above, the correct classifications would be:

5. noun clause
6. adverbial clause
7. adjectival clause
