Question

Choose a suitable adverb clause to complete the sentence
I usually drink a glass of warm milk ____
A. Before I go to bed
B. While sleeping in the night
C. By bedtime
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:Use a suitable adverb clause that will not change the true meaning of the sentence. An adverb clause is a collection of words that is used to change or to meet the requirements of an adjective, a clause, another adverb, a verb, or any other type of word or phrase. As the sentence said that “he usually drinks a glass of warm milk” gives a hint that his timing of having milk is close to the time before he reaches his bed.

Complete answer:
Option (A) “before I go to bed”: is the correct option because the above-mentioned is about using the adverb clause of time, and ‘before’ refers to the subordinate conjunction of time which suits well here.

Option (B) “while sleeping in the night”: is an incorrect option because “while sleeping in the night” is a phrase which refers to the action of sleeping and no one can do any other action while sleeping.

Option (C) “by bedtime”: is an incorrect option because it is neither a phrase nor a clause.

Option (D) “none of the above”: is an incorrect option as the above-mentioned answer lies in option (A).

Hence, the correct answers are Option ‘A’.

Note:An adverb clause is a collection of words that contains a subject, a verb and an adverb as its function, by upgrading an adverb, verb, or adjective. Adverb clauses mostly begin with subordinate conjunctions.
