Identify the clause of the underlined part of the following sentence.
"A low-fat vegetarian diet is the single most effective way in which we can stop the progression of coronary artery disease."
Answer: C
The underlined part is an Adjective clause.
'in which we can stop the progression of coronary artery disease' is a relative clause, introduced by the preposition and relative pronoun in which. It describes the noun way, telling us which way is meant, so it works as an adjective.
The principal clause is 'A low-fat vegetarian diet is the single most effective way'. The underlined clause is not a noun clause, since it is not the subject or object of a verb, and not an adverb clause, since it qualifies the noun 'way' rather than the verb.
