Explanation:

A dependent adjective clause can be defined as a group of words containing a subject and a verb. Its purpose is to modify a noun or a pronoun by providing further description or information it - similar to what an adjective does. Adjective clauses are often introduced by relative pronouns such as who, which, or that. They are dependent because, without the main clause, they'd make no sense.

In the sentence "Amanda bought a prom dress which she considered the most beautiful dress ever made", the adjective clause is "which she considered the most beautiful dress ever made". It is introduced by the relative pronoun "which" and its purpose is to modify the noun "dress". Therefore, it is not any dress. This dress is the most beautiful dress ever made, in Amanda's opinion.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
