A finite clause contains a verb that shows tense whereas a non-finite clause contains a verb that does not show tense. The latter is often seen in subordinate clauses, where the tense is figured out through the main clause.
Option C is correct as the clause "to realize the scam" does not show any tense, hence it is a non-finite clause.
Option A is incorrect because "took" is a verb in the past tense, hence the clause is finite.
Option B is incorrect because "to realize" is an infinitive phrase and not a clause.
Option D is incorrect because the words do not form a clause, also, the verb in the past tense "took" is included.

A finite clause contains a verb that shows tense whereas a non-finite clause contains a verb that does not show tense. The latter is often seen in subordinate clauses, where the tense is figured out through the main clause.
The clause in bold "After having spent twelve hours on the road" does not show any tense through the verb phrase "having spent".
Hence it is a non-finite clause, the statement is true and option A is correct, B is incorrect.

A finite clause contains a verb that shows tense whereas a non-finite clause contains a verb that does not show tense. The latter is often seen in subordinate clauses, where the tense is figured out through the main clause.
The words in bold "I will give you a call" shows the future tense, 'will' is an auxiliary verb that refers to the future tense. Hence it isn't a non-finite clause (in stead, "before leaving from home" is a non-finite clause as it does not show tense).
Hence the statement is false and option B is correct, A is incorrect.

A defining relative clause gives essential information about someone or something, whereas a non-defining relative clause gives extra or unrelated information about someone/something.
The clause "which has a dual camera setup" is a relative clause (it begins with the relative pronoun "which") and gives more information about the noun, "phone". This information does not define the phone, as it is already identified as "Neal's new phone". Hence it is the non-defining clause and option B is correct.
Option A is incorrect because it isn't a relative clause; it is the subject in the given sentence.
Option C is incorrect because this is a predicate, containing a verb "cost". Relative clauses do not contain the main verbs in them.
Option D is incorrect because this is the main clause, excluding the relative clause.

A defining relative clause gives essential information about someone or something, whereas a non-defining relative clause gives extra or unrelated information about someone/something.
The clause "who is my colleague and friend" gives more information about the proper noun "Jane", but does not define the noun, non-defining clauses do not define proper nouns as they are already specified by their name. Hence it is a non-defining clause and option B is correct.
Option A is incorrect because it is not a relative clause; it does not begin with the relative pronoun (who).
Options C and D are not clauses, they are fragments of the sentence without a subject in each, and without a verb in option D; they do not even contain the relative pronoun, hence C and D are incorrect.

A finite clause contains a verb that shows tense whereas a non-finite clause contains a verb that does not show tense. The latter is often seen in subordinate clauses, where the tense is figured out through the main clause.
Option A is correct as the clause "taken before meals" does not show any tense through the verb "taken".
Option B is incorrect because the clause shows a tense, "will help" is in the future tense, hence it is a finite clause.
Option C is incorrect because these words do not form a clause (the subject "these medicines" is dropped out). Moreover, the phrase shows the future tense.
Option D is incorrect because the answer lies in A.

A defining relative clause gives essential information about someone or something, whereas a non-defining relative clause gives extra or unrelated information about someone/something.
The clause in bold "who want to adopt the child" is a relative clause that defines the noun "people" by pointing out which people. Hence it is a defining clause and the statement is false.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.

Since "I ...enchanted" is qualified by "with the style of the writer", the qualifying clause should be placed after the former. Hence, Option A  is correct, as the given sentence is structured in that manner. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect. 

Relative clause adds extra information about a noun by using "who", 'what", "why", "that" and other questioning words. Here, "that" is implied. Hence Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not fit this description, hence incorrect. 

Since two contrasting facts are presented, a contrasting conjunction must be used. Hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not express the contrast, hence incorrect.
