Question

Identify the sentence that uses an adverbial clause. Select the two correct answers.

a. The bird that we saw on our South African safari was called a lilac-breasted roller
b. None of us could believe what the mountain climber described in his lecture
c. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team
d. So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad
e. Oliver J. Wallach, who founded the college, has a building named after him there

Answer 1

The two correct answers that use adverbial clauses are:

c. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team
d. So that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad

(Note: However, strictly speaking, while option c contains a dependent clause, it's more of a noun clause than an adverbial clause. Only option d contains a clear adverbial clause. A more appropriate selection would have focused solely on option d.)
