OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The big dog bit John, whose paws are black and white.
A. The big dog bit John, whose paws are black and white.
This answer choice is illogical. The relative clause whose paws are black and white is intended to modify the dog. However, it follows John.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: who, which, that, whose, whom
B. Big dog whose paws are black and white bit John.
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake, it is grammtically incorrect. The singular count noun dog requires an article (e.g., a dog, the dog).
C. The large dog whose paws are white and black bit John.
This answer corrects the original mistake by placing the relative clause immediately after the noun it modifies (i.e., dog).
Replacing the word big with large does not change the meaning of the original sentence because the two words have the same meaning. Neither does changing the word order from black and white to white and black constitute a change of meaning.
D. John was bitten by a dog whose paws are black and white.
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake and is grammtically correct, replacing the article the with a and omitting the word big change the meaning of the original sentence.
E. The dog bit John, whose paws are black and white.
This answer choice repeat the original mistake. The relative clause whose paws are black and white is intended to modify the dog. However, it follows John.
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign: who, which, that, whose, whom
In addition, omitting the word big change the meaning of the original sentence.
