Question

Pick out the relative pronoun and their antecedent in the following sentence. If there is no antecedent, say so:

The tiger which felt disturbed by the noise gave out a loud roar.

• A. which; antecedent - tiger
  
• B. which; antecedent - noise
  
• C. by; antecedent - felt
  
• D. by; antecedent - disturbed
  

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

which; antecedent - tiger

A relative pronoun is one that relates to a preceding noun or pronoun called the antecedent, and connects the clause which it introduces to the antecedent. The noun is "tiger" and it precedes the relative pronoun "which" introducing the clause, "which felt disturbed by the noise". Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
