Identify the clause in the underlined part of the sentence :
It is estimated that some 20,000 American firms have established in-house health clubs.
Answer: D
'It is estimated' is the principal clause.
The sentence has a main clause, 'It is estimated', which can stand on its own, and a subordinate clause, 'that some 20,000 American firms have established in-house health clubs'. The underlined part is the principal (main) clause.
The 'that' clause is the subordinate one, and it is a noun clause, standing in for the real subject of 'is estimated', so 'Noun clause' describes the other half of the sentence, not the underlined part. There is no adverb or adjective clause in the sentence.
