To determine which of the following sentences has a relative clause, we need to identify what a relative clause is. A relative clause is a dependent clause that starts with a relative pronoun (such as who, which, that, etc.) and provides additional information about the noun or pronoun it follows.
Let's go through each of the sentences:
A. "Many young people are searching for jobs." - This sentence does not have a relative clause. It does not contain a dependent clause that starts with a relative pronoun.
B. "The audience applauded the ambassador, who spoke for one-half hour." - This sentence does have a relative clause. The dependent clause "who spoke for one-half hour" starts with the relative pronoun "who" and provides additional information about the noun "ambassador."
C. "The bus stopped at the corner, but she forgot to get off." - This sentence does not have a relative clause. It contains two independent clauses but no dependent clause starting with a relative pronoun.
D. "Tony ate the pizza and then went to the movies." - This sentence does not have a relative clause. It consists of two independent clauses, but no dependent clause starting with a relative pronoun.
Therefore, the sentence that has a relative clause is B. "The audience applauded the ambassador, who spoke for one-half hour."
