The umbrella with a wooden handle is mine. (Identify the correct clause/phrase for the underlined part)

Correct option is E

None of the above

The underlined part of the sentence, "with a wooden handle," is a prepositional phrase, not a clause or an adverb phrase. It acts as an adjective phrase, modifying the noun "umbrella" by specifying which umbrella is being referred to, but it does not meet the criteria for the options listed.

Information Booster
A prepositional phrase consists of a preposition and its object, along with any modifiers. In this case, "with" is the preposition, and "a wooden handle" is the object of the preposition.
An adjective clause provides more information about a noun and typically includes a subject and a verb (e.g., "The umbrella that I bought is mine").
An adverb clause modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb, often beginning with subordinating conjunctions like "because," "although," or "when."
An adverb phrase typically modifies a verb and may include adverbs or prepositional phrases.
Prepositional phrases can function as adjective phrases when they modify a noun, as in this example, but they are technically prepositional phrases.
"With a wooden handle" specifies which umbrella, acting as an adjective phrase in function, but it is still a prepositional phrase.

Additional Knowledge
Option (a): "An adjective clause." An adjective clause typically has a subject and verb, such as "The umbrella that I bought is mine." The underlined part in the given sentence lacks a subject-verb structure and is thus not an adjective clause.
Option (b): "An adverb clause." An adverb clause usually starts with a subordinating conjunction and modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. For example, "I ran because I was late" – here, "because I was late" modifies the verb "ran." The underlined part in the sentence does not meet this requirement.
Option (c): "An adverb phrase." Adverb phrases modify verbs or adjectives, like "He speaks very clearly." The underlined part in the question does not function this way.
