Question

Convert the following simple sentence to a complex sentence containing an adjective clause:
I have no consolation to offer you. [Intermediate]

• A. I have no consolation that I can offer you.
• B. I have no consolation on offer for you.
• C. I can offer you nothing including consolation.
• D. I can offer you something and it is not consolation.

Answer 1

The correct option is A I have no consolation that I can offer you.

A simple sentence can be converted into a complex sentence by expanding the phrase or word into a complex sentence. The complex sentence can be a noun clause, adjective clause or adverb clause.

In the given sentence, the noun 'consolation' can be expanded into the adjective clause 'that I can offer you'. Options B, C, and D are not logically correct.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
