17. Which of the following is a complex sentence that contains a dependent adverbial clause?
A. Mark expects the photo to arrive on Tuesday.
B. Mark expects the photo to arrive late.
C. Mark expects the photo to arrive in damaged condition.
D. Mark expects the photo to arrive when the letter arrives.
A-- Is not correct.
Again, This is NOT my work. I am helping a friend with her English work. Also she does not have the internet. She is from Germany and she’s having a hard time understanding English. With your comments it is helping her to understand English, and also how to use it later. Plus I don’t want to get the wrong answer in showing her. That’s why I am asking for some extra help. Is that a crime?
Example:
It's -- is the contraction of IT IS
Its -- is the possessive -- belonging to it

I would say D, as "when the letter arrives " is an adverbial clause which depends on the preceding clause. D is saying WHEN he expects the photo to arrive.
As you probably know, an adverbial clause, like an adverb, anwers the question,'how', 'when', 'where' or 'why'.

It's D. A clause has to have a verb - therefore 'when the letter arrives' is a clause. None of the other adverbial expressions is.
