Question

In the given sentence, choose the noun that the adjective clause modifies:
Dave's old jeep, which had worked for a good twenty years, was finally sold off for a few hundred dollars.

• A. Dave
• B. jeep
• C. twenty
• D. dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is B jeep

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.
The adjective clause is generally placed right after the noun or pronoun it modifies.
Option B is correct because the adjective clause "which had worked for a good twenty years" modifies the noun "jeep", it defines the jeep by giving more information about it.
Option A is incorrect because the clause does not tell us 'which Dave', it tells us 'which jeep'.
Option C is incorrect as 'twenty' is a fragment of the clause itself.
Option D is incorrect because the clause does not give us information about which dollar.
