Put the boxes ________.

Answer 1

Hint: The student should go through the options carefully after reading the sentence to understand what the sentence implies. This will help the student in finding the right answer for the given question.

Complete answer:
An adverbial clause is a subordinate clause that functions as an adverb within the main clause.
Let us thus analyze the options given to us in this question -
Option (a.), 'anywhere', refers to ‘at or in or to any place’. Therefore, option (a.) is incorrect as it is not an adverbial clause, but only an adverb.
Option (b.), ‘wherever you find place', refers to the adverb ‘wherever’, the subject ‘you’ and the verb ‘find’. Therefore, option (b.) is correct as an adverbial clause of place includes an adverb of place, a subject, and a verb.
Option (c.), ‘whenever you find time', refers to an adverbial clause of time. Therefore, option (c.) is incorrect as an adverbial clause of place does not use an adverb of time (whenever).
Option (d.), ‘none of the above', is incorrect as option (b.) is correct.

Note:
 In this question, it will be helpful for the student to recall the concept of adverbs. An adverb is a word that modifies something other than a noun. An adverb is the word class that qualifies verbs or clauses.
