which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning?
it describes the type of novel the speaker likes.
it explains why the speaker likes to read nonfiction.
it gives information about the subject of the sentence.
it provides information about the verb in the sentence.

Explanation:

The underlined clause "that bring to life events in history" is a relative clause. Relative clauses modify nouns. In this case, the noun is "novels". It tells us the specific characteristic of the novels the speaker likes, i.e., the type of novels. It is not about non - fiction (the sentence is about novels, which are typically fiction), not about the subject (the subject is "I"), and not about the verb ("like").

Answer:

It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.
