Question

is the group of words in bold a phrase or a clause? beta - carotene is typically found in fruit that has bright - colored flesh, yet cantaloupes, which are paler than oranges, contain ten times more beta - carotene. options: phrase, clause

Explanation:

A clause contains a subject and a predicate (a verb or verb phrase), while a phrase does not. The bolded group "which are paler than oranges" has a subject ("which" referring to cantaloupes) and a predicate ("are paler than oranges"). So it is a clause.

Answer:

clause
