a. some additional clues were found
b. some additional clues discovered in 1907
c. with linen bags and broken pottery
d. when a small pit, with linen bags and broken pottery, was discovered in 1907
ღ C?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D, because that is the dependent clause in this sentence. C cannot be correct because that is not a clause, that is, it doesn't have any verb in it, which makes it a phrase.
