Question

Choose whether the following statement is True or False:
The adjective clause here is non-defining- The old lady who is wearing a pretty frock is my grandmother.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

An adjective clause is a group of words that contain a subject and a verb, and it functions as an adjective that modifies a noun or a pronoun. Adjective clauses usually begin with relative pronouns such as who, whom, whose or a relative adverb like when, where and so on.
A defining adjective clause gives essential information about the noun/pronoun that it modifies, without which the meaning of the sentence is incomplete.
A non-defining adjective clause merely gives extra information about the noun/pronoun which isn't important to the sentence.
In the given statement, the adjective clause "who is wearing a pretty frock" is defining as it specifies which 'lady'.
Hence the statement is false; option B is correct and A is incorrect.
