'The first bird call I heard as I left the house ...'
The underlined is a/an __________ clause.
Answer: D
'As I left the house' is an Adverb clause.
The clause, introduced by the conjunction 'as', tells when the writer heard the bird call. A subordinate clause that tells when, where, how or why something happens modifies the verb and is an adverb clause, here an adverb clause of time.
It cannot stand alone, so it is not a principal clause; it is not the object of a verb (noun clause), and it does not describe a noun (adjective clause); 'I heard', describing 'call', is the adjective clause in that sentence.
