Question

In which sentence is the relative pronoun used within the object of a preposition?

The flag that was just lowered is the Italian flag.

Someone scratched the flagpole that I recently painted.

This is the flag designer of whom I have spoken.

I have a friend whose grandfather raised the flag at San Juan Hill.

Answer 1

Out of these four sentences, I see "of whom I have spoken" and "at San Juan Hill" as preposition phrases (not sure if that's what they're actually called lol).
Of these two, "of whom I have spoken" is the one with pronouns. Between "whom" and "I" the object in this case would be "whom" because the "of" is referring to "whom". In other words, "of" refers to the "flag designer" earlier in the sentence, and "whom" also represents the "flag designer"

Answer 2

thanks ! I also have another one

Answer 3

Read the sentence.

The tattered flag, which inspired Francis Scott Key, was on display at the museum.

Which group of words is the adjective clause in the sentence?


at the museum

which inspired Francis Scott Key

The tattered flag

on display

Answer 4

"which inspired Francis Scott Key"
You know it's an adjective clause because it describes "The tattered flag", like an adjective. Except it's a phrase, not just a single word.

Answer 5

Identify the sentence in which the underlined clause is a noun clause that functions as the subject of the sentence.
