Question

Identify the type of adverb clause underlined in the following sentence:
He was very pleased that you have been promoted.

• A. Adverb Clause of Cause or Reason
• B. Adverb Clause of Condition
• C. Adverb Clause of Time
• D. Adverb Clause of Purpose

Answer 1

The correct option is A Adverb Clause of Cause or Reason

The underlined clause answers the question "why", in relation to a specific reason or cause of the event, therefore it is an adverbial clause of reason. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not indicate time, hence incorrect.
