Which pronoun relates one part of the sentence to another?

• A. Interrogative Pronoun
• B. Indefinite Pronoun
• C. Relative Pronoun
• D. Adjective

Answer: (C)

The main idea is a pronoun that ties one part of a sentence to another by introducing a clause that describes a noun in the main clause. This job belongs to the relative pronoun. Relative pronouns such as who, whom, whose, which, and that begin relative clauses and connect them to the noun they modify. For example: The student who finished early earned extra credit. Here, who introduces the clause and relates it to “the student.”

Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions, not to link clauses. Indefinite pronouns refer to non-specific people or things, and don’t serve to connect parts of a sentence. An adjective describes a noun but doesn’t link clauses or introduce a dependent clause.
