Question

Fill in the blank with a suitable adverb clause:
, I will meet you at the park.

• A. Even if it snows
• B. On snowing
• C. Therefore it snows
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Even if it snows

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.)
From the options, "Even if it snows" is an adverb clause of contrast, 'even if' is a subordinate pair of conjunctions that shows contrast (snows, meet you at the park), 'it' is the subject and 'snows' is the verb. Hence option A is correct as it's the most suitable option.
Option B is incorrect because it is a phrase. (A phrase is a group of words that don't make complete sense. It is distinguished from a clause as it excludes either the subject or the verb, or both.)
Option C is incorrect because 'therefore' is not a subordinate conjunction but a coordinate conjunction.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.
