Question 7 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

Which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause?

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

Explanation

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