Question

Identify the sentence that uses an adverbial clause. Select the two correct answers.
A. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team
B. so that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad
C. Oliver J. Wallach, who founded the college, has a building named after him there
D. the bird that we saw on our South African safari was called a lilac-breasted roller
E. none of us could believe what the mountain climber described in his lecture

Answer 1

The sentences that use an adverbial clause are:

B. so that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad

The adverbial clause here is "so that we would have enough left for tomorrow," which provides a reason for using only half of the vegetables.

A. Javy was named captain of the team despite it being his first year on the team

Although this sentence contains a clause, it acts more as a noun clause than an adverbial clause. Therefore, it does not qualify.

So, the only correct answer from the provided options is:

B. so that we would have enough left for tomorrow, we only used half of the vegetables in the salad.

It appears I made an error — only one sentence seems to contain an adverbial clause based on your choices. Please recheck my response. The correct answer for an adverbial clause is only B.
