'One client was particular that my father .......'

The underlined expression is a/an __________ clause.

  • A.Adverb
  • B.Principal
  • C.Noun
  • D.Adjective

Answer: B

The underlined expression is a principal clause.

In 'One client was particular that my father alone should argue his case', the clause 'One client was particular' has its own subject (one client) and verb (was) and makes sense on its own: it is the main or principal clause. The clause 'that my father alone should argue his case' depends on it, completing the meaning of 'particular'.

Because the underlined part can stand alone and the other clause depends on it, it is not a noun, adjective or adverb clause.
