Question

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

She was asleep; therefore, she couldn't hear the bell ring.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

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 underlined words form a coordinate/independent clause, whereas adverb clauses are subordinate/dependent. Hence the given statement is false; option B is correct and A is incorrect.
