Okay. Adjective Clauses generally follow these patterns:

pronoun or adverb + subject + verb
pronoun as subject + verb

1)Little Emily **pronoun, whose parents claimed she was afraid of water**subject, jumped off the diving board**verb.

2)The diving board**adverb, which was high above the pool**subject, looked scary**verb to my brother.

3)I**pronoun waved to Joshua, who was standing in line**verb for a snack**subject.

4)The popcorn appealed to me that was freshly popped. This one actually doesnt follow the general rule. This is an essential clause.

Which one of these looks like it doesnt follow the rules?
