hello!

Thanks for your reply.
I need to find a an adjectival clause in the text where the pronoun is the object of the clause.

Here is the whole sentence :

Piping up here and there, rising out of the basin to form an erosive volcanic fog-called "vog"- are thick-veiled sulufrous clouds that no stomach can tolerate for long.

Thanks for you hepl!

DG, I am too tired right now but I want to answer you too so I will make a brief explanation. When you see a noun and a modifier after it, search for adjective clause somewhere near. I think ..."that no stomach can tolerate for long." is adjective clause here.
