Identify the clause in the highlighted portion of the given sentence.
The jury gave the verdict that the convict would go to jail.

Correct option is D

The correct substitution of the highlighted clause is (d) Noun Clause.
Explanation:
The highlighted clause “that the convict would go to jail” functions as the object of the verb “gave”.
It answers the question “What verdict?”, which is a function of a noun.
Hence, it is a Noun Clause, not an adjective or adverb clause.
Grammatical Rule Used:
· A Noun Clause performs the function of a noun in a sentence.
· It often begins with that, what, whether, if.
Example:
I believe that he is honest.
Information Booster:
· If a clause can be replaced by something or it, it is usually a noun clause.
