read the sentence. sami especially enjoyed the brownies, which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam - packed with crunchy walnuts. which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning? it is a noun clause stating what sami likes about brownies. it is an adverbial clause telling why sami liked the brownies. it is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies. it is an independent clause explaining how brownies are made.

Explanation:

The underlined clause "which were chewy, chocolatey, and jam - packed with crunchy walnuts" starts with "which" and gives more information about the noun "brownies", which is the function of a relative clause. It describes the qualities of the brownies. It is not a noun clause (does not act as a noun), not an adverbial clause (does not modify a verb, adjective, or adverb), and not an independent clause (cannot stand alone as a complete sentence).

Answer:

It is a relative clause describing the qualities of the brownies.
