Hi everyone!
I want to identify the adjectival relative clause in the sentence below.

soufia Hern Does it start from " is one who knows the extent of his knowledge" ? No, but you're close. It starts at "who" and goes to the end of the sentence.

Some typos:
CalifJimDoes it start from
CalifJimIt's starts
Apparently there are two adjectival relative clauses.

Both of these clauses describe the mentioned person.

An educated person is one who [ knows the extent of his language and makes it available to others ].

The bracketed part is a compound predicate. It only has one subject (who). I'd say it's all one clause.
