Question

Convert the following simple sentences to a complex sentence containing an adjective clause- He was married in his native village.
A) He was married and it was in his native village.
B) He was married in the village in which he was born.
C) He was married in a village and the village was his native village.
D) He was natively married in his village.

Answer 1

Hint : A simple sentence can be converted into a complex sentence by expanding the phrase or word into a complex sentence.

Complete answer:
The complex sentences can be a noun clause, adjective clause, or adverb clause. An adjective clause generally begins with a relative pronoun (that, which who etc.) that connects the clause to the noun or pronoun it modifies. An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun or pronoun. They almost always come after the noun they modify.

Now, let us examine the given options to find out the correct answer.
Option ‘a’ is He was married and it was in his native village. This sentence cannot be the correct answer as this is not logically correct. This sentence does not have an adjective clause as well.
Option ‘b’ is He was married in the village in which he was born. This sentence is grammatically and logically correct. This can be used as a complex sentence as it has the required adjective clause, that is, “in which he was born”.
Option ‘c’ is He was married in a village and the village was his native village. This option is logically incorrect and does not contain a proper adjective clause.
Option ‘d’ is He was natively married in his village. This sentence is completely wrong, there is no such thing as “natively married”. This sentence is grammatically wrong and cannot be the correct answer.

Now, as we have examined all the options, we can easily find out the correct answer. The correct answer is option ‘b’.

Note: In the given sentence, the noun “his native village” can be expanded into an adjective clause, “in which he was born.”
