In which sentence is the underlined clause an adjective clause?

a. In many countries in the world, measles was eradicated (when a vaccine was developed in 1963.)
b. Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes.
c. (Whoever is exposed to parasite-carrying mosquitoes )can contract the disease malaria.
d. Typhoid fever is a disease that spreads (when food or water is infected with deadly bacteria.)

words in parenthesis are the words underlined in the sentence.

Answer:

The underlined clause is an adjective clause in sentence B.

Explanation:

Sentence b contains a nonessential relative clause. Relative clauses, also called adjective clauses, postmodify nouns and are introduced by relative pronouns. In this case, this nonessential relative clause has been introduced by the pronoun which. The clause is considered nonessential because the information it provides is not necessary to complete the meaning of the sentence. If it was removed, the sentence would still represent a complete thought and have the same meaning (see 1). That is why it is offset from the rest of the sentence with commas.

1) Chicken pox can be spread through coughs and sneezes.  

Answer: In sentence B., the underlined clause is an adjective clause "Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes".

Explanation: An adjective clause is a subordinate clause, that is to say a clause that cannot stand alone as a sentence, which modifies and describes a noun that precedes it. An adjective clause is introduced by a relative pronoun, such as "which" or "that". Among the sentences provided, B. "Chicken pox, (which causes bumps on the skin,) can be spread through coughs and sneezes" is the only one that includes an adjective clause. "Which causes bumps on the skin" is modifying the noun phrase that precedes it ("chicken pox") and providing additional information about it. Moreover, it has been introduced by the relative pronoun "which". In contrast, in A. and D., the underlined clauses are modifying a verb, while in C. the underlined clause is a noun clause.

1 Bicycle racing became popular almost as soon as the first bicycle was introduced in 1878. 2 Although most racers were males, many females soon entered this growing sport. 3 It was not long before races began to occur throughout the United States, attracting large crowds of fans who applauded the competitive efforts of these female athletes. 4 However, despite their determination and successes, not everyone in the community was supportive of women racers. 5 There are always jealous people who selfishly do not like to see others succeed, and bicycle racing was no different. 6 Some believed that women’s place in cycling was "not on the public race path,” and many tried to make it difficult for women to compete. 7 Ultimately, these attempts were too late and largely unsuccessful, and women racers continued to make their mark in the cycling world.

"You are burnt beyond recognition," he added, looking at his wife as one looks at a valuable piece of personal property which has suffered some damage. She held up her hands, strong, shapely hands, and surveyed them critically, drawing up her fawn sleeves above the wrists.
