Answer: The sentence that contains a clause used to modify the verb is the second one: "Geoff fell off the ladder into the pool because he was dizzy".

Explanation: The sentence "Geoff fell off the ladder into the pool because he was dizzy" contains an adverb clause: "because he was dizzy". An adverb clause is a dependent clause that is introduced by a subordinating conjunction. Moreover, an adverb clause generally modifies a verb. In the second sentence, the adverb clause "because he was dizzy", which cannot stand alone as a sentence, is modifying the verb "fell off".
