I like reading novels that bring to life events in history. Which statement best explains how the underlined clause conveys meaning? It describes the type of novel the speaker likes. It explains why the speaker likes to read nonfiction. It gives information about the subject of the sentence. It provides information about the verb in the sentence.

 It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.

Explanation:

In this sentence, the speaker tells us that he likes to read. He also informs us about which particular kind of novels he likes - those that bring to life events in history. The clause "that bring to life events in history" does not provide information about the subject of the sentence, because it describes the noun "novels", the object of the sentence. It also does not give us information about the verb. The speaker never mentions nonfiction in his statement, hence the correct answer is A: It describes the type of novel the speaker likes.

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.
