10-It was the likely fate of this marine mammal,whose seagrass feeding grounds would be buried under concrete , that provoked the late governor's ; court battle against the US Department of Defense. a. a-2Sub.Cl.(Adj.cl.-Adv.Cl.) b. b-2Sub.Cl.(Adj.cl.-Adj.cl.) C. c-2Sub.Cl.(Adj.Cl.-N.Cl.)

The correct answer is **b- 2Sub.Cl.(Adj.cl.-Adj.cl.)**<br /><br />Here's why:<br /><br />The sentence contains two subordinate clauses:<br /><br />* **Adj. cl. 1:** "whose seagrass feeding grounds would be buried under concrete" This clause modifies "marine mammal," acting as an adjective clause.<br /><br />* **Adj. cl. 2:** "that provoked the late governor's court battle against the US Department of Defense" This clause modifies "fate," also acting as an adjective clause. It explains *what kind* of fate it was.<br /><br />Therefore, the sentence structure is two subordinate clauses modifying the main subject ("fate"). The clauses are both adjectival in function. Option 'b' accurately reflects this.<br />
