- D.

Correct Answer
C. Who is the relative clause here, refering to my cousin's friend.Explanation
The relative clause "who is really cute" is referring to "my cousin's best friend." It provides additional information about the boy standing there. The word "who" is used as a relative pronoun to introduce the clause and connect it to the noun it modifies. In this case, "who" is replaceable with "that" without changing the meaning of the sentence.Rate this question:

- D.
If I omit the relative clause, I still know who the girl is.
Correct Answer
A. THAT can be replaced by WHO (because it is a defining clause)Explanation
The correct answer is that "THAT can be replaced by WHO (because it is a defining clause)." This is because the word "that" is used to introduce a defining clause, which provides essential information about the noun it modifies. In this case, the clause "I saw last night" defines which girl is being referred to. If we replace "that" with "who," it still maintains the same meaning and functions as a defining clause.Rate this question:

- B.
Which is used here because a car I saw is the subject of my sentence.
- C.
This is a non-defining clause.
- D.
In this case, Which can be replaced by WHO
Correct Answer
B. Which is used here because a car I saw is the subject of my sentence.Explanation
The correct answer is "Which is used here because a car I saw is the subject of my sentence." The word "which" is used to introduce a relative clause that provides additional information about the car. In this case, the relative clause "which can be propelled by using only electricity" describes the car that the speaker saw. The use of "which" indicates that the relative clause is non-defining, meaning it is not necessary for the basic understanding of the sentence.Rate this question:

A. The book which i had to read is so boring.
D. The girl who had an accident is very young.
E. The car whose owner is bald needs a good cleaning.Explanation
The defining clauses in these sentences are used to provide essential information about the subject. In the first sentence, "which I had to read" defines the specific book being referred to. In the fourth sentence, "who had an accident" identifies the specific girl being talked about. In the last sentence, "whose owner is bald" specifies the particular car being discussed. These clauses are necessary to understand the context and identify the subject accurately.Rate this question:

The correct answer includes the non-defining clauses "My teacher, who seems to be tired, lives near school," "The park, where children come to play, belongs to a giant," and "The movie, which is really old, resembles the time of Second World War." These clauses provide additional information about the subjects (teacher, park, movie) but are not essential for understanding the main idea of the sentence.Rate this question:
