Question 10 • English 2

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
I chose the player who ran fastest, but the other captain wanted the one with the hardest kick.
C
The parrot, which must have been tame, flew out of the tree and landed on my shoulder.
D
Aware that I could be bitten, I carefully approached the trapped dog, which growled at me.

Explanation

A restrictive clause identifies which person or thing the sentence means and is essential to the meaning. In choice C, “who ran fastest” tells us which player was chosen, so it is restrictive. The clauses set off by commas in the other choices add extra information rather than identifying a particular noun.
