Question

read the sentence.
sami especially enjoyed the brownies, which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam - packed with crunchy walnuts.
which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning?
it is a noun clause stating what sami likes about brownies.
it is an adverbial clause telling why sami liked the brownies.
it is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.
it is an independent clause explaining how brownies are made.

Explanation:

A relative clause starts with a relative pronoun (here, "which"). It gives more details about the noun it follows (the brownies). The underlined clause describes the brownies' qualities (chewy, chocolatey, with walnuts). A noun clause would function as a noun (e.g., "what Sami likes" - not the case here). An adverbial clause would answer questions like "how", "when", "where" (not done here). An independent clause can stand alone, but this one can't.

Answer:

It is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.
