Question

Choose an adverb clause from the options given below:

• A. in the pool
• B. because I wanted a break
• C. I went and for a walk
• D. that she gave me

Answer 1

The correct option is B because I wanted a break

An adverb clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb, and it functions as an adverb, by modifying an adjective, verb or an adverb. Adverb clauses generally begin with a subordinate conjunction (since, because, while, etc.)
Option B is correct as it is an adverb clause of reason, where "because" is a conjunction that refers to reason, "I" is the subject and "wanted" is a verb.
Option A is incorrect because it is a phrase.
Option C is incorrect because it is a complete sentence, whereas an adverb clause isn't a sentence.
Option D is incorrect because it is an adjective clause.
