    Question

    Identify the clause in the highlighted portion of the given sentence.
    He who exercises daily leads a healthy life.

    A.

    Noun Clause

    B.

    Adjective Clause

    C.

    Principal Clause

    D.

    Adverb Clause

    Correct option is B


    Correct answer: (b) Adjective Clause
    Highlighted clause: who exercises daily
    Meaning of the clause (in detail):
    • It tells which person is being talked about: “He (the person) who exercises daily…”
    • Hindi: जो प्रतिदिन व्यायाम करता है
    Why it is an Adjective Clause (in detail):
    • An adjective clause describes a noun/pronoun.
    • Here it describes the pronoun “He” (Which he? → the one who exercises daily).
    • It begins with the relative pronoun who, which is a common marker of adjective (relative) clauses.
    Example: The man who helped me is my friend. (who helped me = adjective clause describing “man”)
    Grammatical rule (English):
    • Adjective clause (relative clause) begins with who/whom/whose/which/that and modifies a noun/pronoun.
    व्याकरणिक नियम (Hindi):
    • जो clause किसी संज्ञा/सर्वनाम का विशेषण की तरह वर्णन करे, वह Adjective Clause कहलाता है; “who” जैसे relative pronoun से शुरू होता है।
    Meanings of other options (why incorrect):
    • (a) Noun clause → noun की तरह काम करता है (object/subject). यहाँ describe कर रहा है।
    • (c) Principal clause → main clause is “He leads a healthy life.”
    • (d) Adverb clause → time/reason/condition बताता है; यहाँ नहीं।
    Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
