Which sentence contains a restrictive phrase?

Answer
A
The window in the living room provides the best natural sunlight.
B
Madeline (the neighbor’s cat) was sleeping peacefully in the sun.
C
Jonah, the fastest runner on the track team, injured his left ankle.
D
The novelist—my favorite by far—was kindly autographing books.

Explanation

A restrictive phrase identifies which person or thing is meant and is necessary to the sentence’s meaning. In D, “in the living room” specifies which window provides the best natural sunlight. The phrases in A, B, and C are set off by commas, dashes, or parentheses and add nonessential information.
