Clauses: Building and Refining Compound and Complex Sentences

Question 22 • GA-Literature and Composition II (Fakunle)

Which sentence contains a restrictive clause?

Answer
A
The road, which was long and winding, took us deeper and deeper into the dark forest.
B
The parrot, which must have been tame, flew out of the tree and landed on my shoulder.
C
Aware that I could be bitten, I carefully approached the trapped dog, which growled at me.
D
The astronaut who first stepped on the moon was Neil Armstrong.

Explanation

A restrictive clause gives essential information that identifies which person or thing is meant, so it is not set off by commas. In D, “who first stepped on the moon” identifies which astronaut was Neil Armstrong. The clauses in A, B, and C are set off by commas and add nonessential information.
