    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    In the sentence, "The book, which has a black cover, belongs to Stephen," the clause "which has a black cover" is an adjective clause. This clause modifies the noun "book" by providing additional descriptive information about it—specifically, its appearance. It helps to identify which book is being referred to among potentially many others by describing its cover.

    Correct Answer
    A. Adverb Clause
    Explanation
    In the sentence, "After we remodeled our house, we moved to Hawaii," the clause "After we remodeled our house" is an adverb clause. Adverb clauses provide information about when, where, why, how, and to what extent something happens, relating to the main clause of the sentence. In this case, the adverb clause "After we remodeled our house" explains the timing of the action described in the main clause, "we moved to Hawaii." It specifies that the move occurred after the completion of the remodeling, thus functioning to modify the verb "moved" by giving a context of time.

    In the sentence, "The route which I take to school every day is very scenic," the clause "which I take to school every day" is an adjective clause. This clause modifies the noun "route," providing more information about which specific route is being referred to.

    Explanation
    In the sentence, "When I get a 100 on this test, Mrs. Weaver will jump for joy!" the clause "When I get a 100 on this test" is an adverb clause. Adverb clauses provide additional information about the circumstances under which the main action occurs, in this case, explaining when Mrs. Weaver will express her joy. The adverb clause sets a condition for the main clause, indicating that Mrs. Weaver's jubilant reaction is contingent upon the speaker achieving a perfect score on the test. This type of clause often establishes the timing or condition for the events described in the main clause.
