C. Relative Pronouns
The correct answer is C.) relative pronouns.
The correct answer is C.) relative pronouns.
To arrive at this answer, we need to understand the function of adjective clauses and how they relate to the words or ideas that come before them. Adjective clauses are clauses that modify a noun or pronoun in a sentence, providing additional information about it. These clauses are introduced by pronouns known as relative pronouns.
Relative pronouns function to connect the adjective clause to the noun or pronoun it modifies. They also relate back to a previously mentioned noun or pronoun, known as the antecedent, in the main clause of the sentence. In this case, the pronouns in the adjective clause are introducing it and relating it to the antecedent.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.) relative pronouns.
