A clause refers to a group of words that includes both a subject and a verb. And a clause usually contains just one subject and also one verb.

In a sentence, a clause can function as a noun, an adverb and an adjective. This implies the correct answer is C.

Clauses are mainly categorized into two types:

1. Independent Clause:

Based on the meaning “independent” – standing on its own, an independent clause mainly functions on its own to form a meaningful sentence, looking much like a regular sentence.

2. Dependent clause:

Dependent means not to stand or function on its own, and given that, dependent clauses do not function on their own because they leave ideas, reasoning or thoughts unfinished. Dependent clauses are also known as subordinate clauses.

Notably, dependent clauses cannot form a complete sentence; they help the independent clauses complete a sentence.

Adjectives are known to modify nouns, and sometimes pronouns. Adjectives give further information about a specific noun or pronoun in a given sentence.

An adverb is a word that qualifies or modifies adjectives in a given sentence. Furthermore, an adverb gives more information to an adjective in a sentence.

A conjunction is used to connect or link words, clauses, phrases, and sentences.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
