Question 1 • ELA 10B - 2023

Which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause?

Answer
A
Be sure to watch that movie I gave you.
B
The man who drives our bus is ill.
C
Take a left after that house with the yellow fence.
D
The old apron, which belonged to Mama, is torn.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive clause adds extra information that is not needed to identify the noun, and it is usually set off with commas. In “The old apron, which belonged to Mama, is torn,” the clause “which belonged to Mama” adds information about the apron, so D is correct. The other clauses help identify which movie, man, or house is meant.
