Question

A. "George Lucas" modifies "filmmaker" to specify which filmmaker.
B. "Production company" modifies "owned" to describe its ownership.
C. "Star Wars franchise" modifies "owned" to specify what was owned.
D. "Until 2012" modifies "owned" to indicate the time period.

Answer 1

The relative clause in this sentence modifies "Goa" by specifying its location. Therefore, The correct answer is: C. "Star Wars franchise" modifies "owned" to specify what was owned.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is: C. "Star Wars franchise" modifies "owned" to specify what was owned. The relative clause "until 2012" provides additional information about the time period but does not directly modify "owned" in a way that specifies what was owned. Instead, it specifies the duration of ownership. On the other hand, the relative clause "Star Wars franchise" directly modifies "owned," providing more detail about what was owned by George Lucas.
