Identify the clause in the underlined part of the sentence.
When the fish collect in the shallows, the pelicans simply scoop them up.
Answer: B
The underlined part is an Adverb clause of time.
'When the fish collect in the shallows' is a subordinate clause introduced by when. It tells us when the pelicans scoop the fish up, so it modifies the verb of the main clause and answers the question 'when?'.
An adverb clause of place would answer 'where?' (usually with where or wherever), one of manner would answer 'how?' (with as or as if), and one of purpose would answer 'why?' or 'for what?' (with so that or in order that).
