What is underlined?

"Although it was raining fairly hard"

To determine the correct answer, let's start by breaking down the underlined part of the sentence:

"Although it was raining fairly hard,"

This part of the sentence introduces a contrasting idea or condition and modifies the main clause. It provides additional information about the circumstances under which the team played its best game ever.

Now, let's examine the options given:

1. Noun clause: A noun clause functions as a noun, typically as the subject or object of a sentence. It does not fit the underlined part of the sentence because it does not act as a noun.

2. Adjective clause: An adjective clause modifies a noun or pronoun in the sentence. In this case, it does not modify a noun or pronoun and thus is not an adjective clause.

3. Adverb clause: An adverb clause modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb, and it provides information such as time, place, manner, condition, reason, or purpose. Given that the underlined part provides information about the condition (it was raining fairly hard) under which the team played, it fits the description of an adverb clause.

4. Independent clause: An independent clause can stand alone as a complete sentence. The underlined part is not a full sentence and therefore cannot be an independent clause.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is "adverb clause." It provides information about the condition under which the team played its best game ever.

No.

Doesn't the sentence tell you the weather while there was action going on?
