Answer 1

Possessive?

Answer 2

It's called a relative clause. It is also called an adjective clause because it modifies the noun, "girl."

Answer 3

first it is a dependent clause, since it cannot stand by itself. it is also a relative clause, since Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a Relative Pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, and of which). it is also restrictive, as A nonrestrictive clause is not essential to the meaning of the sentence; it can be removed from the sentence without changing its basic meaning.

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

The phrase in caps "WHOSE FATHER WORKS AT A GARAGE" is known as a relative clause. It provides additional information about the noun "girl" in the sentence. To determine the type of clause, we can look for relative pronouns like "who," "whom," "whose," "which," or "that." In this case, the relative pronoun "whose" introduces the clause, making it a relative clause. Relative clauses usually start with a relative pronoun and are used to add further details or descriptions to the noun they modify.
