Question

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

I ran into the couple whom we met during our vacation.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

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.
The underlined words form an adjective clause that modifies the noun "couple"; 'whom' is the relative pronoun, 'we' is the subject and 'met' is the verb.
Hence the statement is true and option A is correct, B is incorrect.
