Firstly, are you familiar with Adjective Clauses?

needshelpdfdf · Answer

no

marziman · Answer

Alright well, an adjective itself modifies nouns and pronouns.  It describes the object in a sentence.  So, an Adjective Clause is a clause that depends on your noun/pronoun.

needshelpdfdf · Answer

ok

marziman · Answer

Which, That, Whose, are examples of Adjectives.

marziman · Answer

The adjective clause would be in between commas since it's a clause that depends on the noun/pronoun.

marziman · Answer

The answer is plain as day, don't worry lol.  It's very easy.

can you keep helping me

marziman · Answer

Sure!  Here is an example,
"Children, which most people enjoy, are something I do not look forward to in the near future."

marziman · Answer

In the example I just gave you, what is the noun?

needshelpdfdf · Answer

ummmm

marziman · Answer

Nouns = Person/Place/Thing

needshelpdfdf · Answer

people

marziman · Answer

"Children, which most people enjoy, are something I do not look forward to in the near future."

In this example, what word is the noun?

needshelpdfdf · Answer

children

marziman · Answer

Yes, good job.  So if my adjective clause is dependent on a noun, in this case "Children", what do YOU think the adjective clause is?  It's not one word.

needshelpdfdf · Answer

I do not look forward to in the near future."

marziman · Answer

VERY close.

marziman · Answer

Remember how I said, they're between commas and start with certain words? Words like "That, Whose, who"

needshelpdfdf · Answer

which most people enjoy?

marziman · Answer

Yes :)

marziman · Answer

"Which" is one of those words that signal an adjective clause.

needshelpdfdf · Answer

so in my question would C be a adjective clause

marziman · Answer

Yes you are correct.

marziman · Answer

And what is the adjective clause in C?

needshelpdfdf · Answer

was??

marziman · Answer

Pro-tip the adjective clause always comes after the noun.

needshelpdfdf · Answer

who lol

marziman · Answer

Yes who is the adjective in the clause here ", who could always make people laugh,"  Liz is the noun @needshelpdfdf
