A clause refers to a group of words that includes both a subject and a verb. And a clause usually contains just one subject and also one verb.

In a sentence, a clause can function as a noun, an adverb and an adjective. This implies the correct answer is C.

Clauses are mainly categorized into two types:

1. Independent Clause:

Based on the meaning “independent” – standing on its own, an independent clause mainly functions on its own to form a meaningful sentence, looking much like a regular sentence.

2. Dependent clause:

Dependent means not to stand or function on its own, and given that, dependent clauses do not function on their own because they leave ideas, reasoning or thoughts unfinished. Dependent clauses are also known as subordinate clauses.

Notably, dependent clauses cannot form a complete sentence; they help the independent clauses complete a sentence.

Adjectives are known to modify nouns, and sometimes pronouns. Adjectives give further information about a specific noun or pronoun in a given sentence.

An adverb is a word that qualifies or modifies adjectives in a given sentence. Furthermore, an adverb gives more information to an adjective in a sentence.

A conjunction is used to connect or link words, clauses, phrases, and sentences.
