Directions: Select the correct text in the passage.Read the statement below.The author believes that animals should be released from zoos.

Which sentence from the passage best supports this statement?
Home, Sweet Home?

A zoo can be a fun place to visit, but would it be a fun place to live? Many zoos spend a lot of money to create homes that are like the animals' natural environments. The zoos also make a strong effort to provide good health care for the animals. However, no matter how hard a zoo works to give animals a good home, it can never give them the freedom of roaming in the wild.
Animals such as elephants need wide-open spaces to move around. In the wild, elephants travel more than 20 miles per day on average. When an elephant lacks movement, it can develop health problems like stiff joints.
Another reason why animals do not belong in zoos is that they can develop a condition called zoochosis. Zoochosis is abnormal behavior caused by boredom and frustration. The symptoms of zoochosis include rocking back and forth, pacing, circling, and excessive chewing. The animals often have poor eating habits. Zookeepers give these animals drugs to keep them calm. In conclusion, a zoo is not the best place for animals to live. Animals belong in the wild where they can roam freely.

What dreams we have and how they fly
LIKE ROSY CLOUDS ACROSS THE SKY;
Of wealth, of fame, of sure success,
Of love that comes to cheer and bless;
And how they whither, how they fade,
The waning wealth, the jilting jade—
The fame that for a moment gleams,
Then flies forever,—dreams, ah—dreams!

The underlined part of sentence 1 is what kind of clause? (1) that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death <-- This is the underlined sentence

adverbial clause
adjectival clause
noun clause

Answers

The underlined sentence is noun clause. The third option is correct.

The entire sentence is Scientists report that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death. The entire dependent clause acts as the object of the sentence, so that it cannot be an adverbial clause. In addition to this, it is not describing or modifying a noun, and therefore it is not an adjectival clause either.

A noun clause is a group of words acting together as a noun. These clauses are always dependent clauses.
The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "adverbial clause." The underlined part of sentence 1 is an adverbial clause(1) that creatures living in the deep sea are in danger of starving to death
