Question

Choose whether the following is True or False:
I love chocolate mousse is a clause.
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint:A clause is a group of words which comprises a subject and a finite verb. Example: “Timsy hates swimming”. The subject of the clause may or may not be visible, but its verb should be distinguishable. We will observe the given sentence carefully to figure out if it is a clause or not.

Complete answer:
Let us analyse each option individually in detail to know the correct answer.

A. True: This option means that the given sentence is valid or it is correct. The given sentence says “I love chocolate mousse” is a clause. In the given sentence, the subject is ‘I’ , and the verb is ‘love’. Therefore, indeed this statement is true.

B. False : This option means that the given sentence is invalid or it is not right. The given sentence says “I love chocolate mousse” is a clause. In the given sentence, the subject is ‘I’ , and the verb is ‘love’. Therefore, this statement is true, which makes this option incorrect.

Hence, the correct answer is Option ‘A’.

Note: A clause is of two types: an independent clause, which can function on its own. It is more like a regular sentence. Example: I like ice-cream. The second is a dependent clause which can’t function on its own and the information or the idea remains incomplete without the help of another clause. These clauses take help of independent clauses to function with the help of subordinators. Example: He bought a house, which was very expensive.
