Identify the clause of the underlined part of the sentence.
Chemical pesticides, which damage the eggs of pelicans, devastate the sea birds.
Answer: D
The underlined part is an Adjective clause.
'which damage the eggs of pelicans' is a relative clause introduced by the relative pronoun which. It describes the noun Chemical pesticides, telling us which pesticides or what they do, and a clause that qualifies a noun works as an adjective.
It is not the principal clause, which is 'Chemical pesticides devastate the sea birds'. It is not a noun clause, since it is not the subject or object of a verb. And it is not an adverb clause, because it describes a noun rather than modifying the verb.
