"It seems such a long break disrupts their development."
Identify the clause in the underlined part of the above sentence.
Answer: C
The underlined part is a Principal clause.
In 'It seems such a long break disrupts their development', the main (principal) clause is 'It seems': it has its own subject and verb and carries the main statement. The rest, '(that) such a long break disrupts their development', is a subordinate clause; it completes 'seems' and is a noun clause, with the conjunction 'that' left out.
An adverb clause modifies a verb by telling when, why or how, and an adjective clause describes a noun. 'It seems' does neither. It would be wrong to call the underlined part a noun clause, since that label belongs to the part that is not underlined.
