Identify the clause of the highlighted part of the sentence:

We all admire a politician who is honest.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Adjective Clause.

Explanation (Step-by-step):

• The highlighted clause is “who is honest”.
• It gives additional information about the noun “politician”.
• It answers the question “Which politician?” – the politician who is honest.
• A clause that modifies a noun or pronoun and works like an adjective is called an adjective clause (also known as a relative clause).

Grammatical Rule Used (English):

• Adjective clause (relative clause) begins with a relative pronoun such as who, which, that, whose.
• It describes a noun/pronoun and functions like an adjective.

Grammatical Rule Used (Hindi):

• जो उपवाक्य किसी संज्ञा/सर्वनाम का वर्णन करता है, उसे Adjective Clause (विशेषण उपवाक्य) कहते हैं।
• “who” जैसे relative pronoun से शुरू होने वाला clause noun को qualify करता है।

Why other options are incorrect:

• (a) Noun Clause – यह noun की तरह काम करता है (subject/object), पर यहाँ clause noun को describe कर रहा है।
• (c) Adverb Clause – यह verb/adjective/adverb को modify करता है (time, reason, condition), जो यहाँ नहीं है।
• (d) Principal Clause – मुख्य clause “We all admire a politician” है; highlighted clause subordinate है।

So the correct answer is (b)
