Question

Identify the relative clause in the statement:
They called a doctor who lived nearby.

• A. called a doctor
• B. lived nearby
• C. a doctor who lived nearby
• D. who lived nearby

Answer 1

The correct option is D who lived nearby

A relative clause is one that describes the noun that precedes it in the main part of the sentence. Here the clause "who lived nearby" describes the doctor. Hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
