Question

Choose whether the following statement is True or False:
The underlined words in the following sentence form an adverb clause.

Since the show had been delayed, I lost interest in it.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

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.).
The given words form an adverb clause of cause, 'since' is a subordinating conjunction that refers to cause or reason, "the show" is the subject and "had been delayed" is the verb.
Hence the given statement is true; option A is correct and B is incorrect.
