Question

Identify the subordinate clause in the following:
Apart from the shy manner in which he greets his guests, there is something particularly distinct about his demeanor. [Intermediate]

• A. in which he greets his guests
• B. Apart from the shy manner
• C. Apart from the shy manner in which he greets his guests
• D. there is something particularly distinct about his demeanor

Answer 1

The correct option is C Apart from the shy manner in which he greets his guests

Subordinate clauses start with conjunctions or prepositions and cannot exist without the on the main clause. Here “apart...guests” is dependent on “there...demeanour”. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect.
