Answer 1

The correct answer is '2' i.e. who has two years' teaching experience .

Key Points

The original sentence is: "We need a teacher with two years' teaching experience."
The task is to replace the underlined part ("with two years' teaching experience") with a suitable clause.
Option 2 ("who has two years' teaching experience") is correct because it introduces a relative clause that properly modifies "teacher."
Option 1 ("with two years of teaching experience") is not a clause but rather a prepositional phrase, so it doesn't meet the requirement of the question.
Options 3 and 4 are grammatically incorrect or do not make logical sense in the context.

Correct sentence: We need a teacher who has two years' teaching experience.

Additional Information

Relative clauses:
- Relative clauses modify a noun or pronoun in the main clause by providing additional information.
- Example: "A teacher who has experience is needed."
- Usage: These clauses often begin with relative pronouns like who, whom, whose, which, or that.
Difference between phrases and clauses:
- A clause contains a subject and a verb (e.g., "who has experience").
- A phrase does not contain both a subject and a verb (e.g., "with experience").
