Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable adjective clause:
I cannot tolerate people _______. [Intermediate]

• A. who lie
• B. living here
• C. from this place
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A who lie

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.
Option A is correct as it is an adjective clause containing a subject 'who' (which is a relative pronoun), a verb 'lie' and modifies the noun "people".
Option B is incorrect because it is a phrase, not a clause, it does not have a subject nor a noun.
Option C is incorrect because this is also a phrase.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
