Read the sentence.Students who purchase parking spots are able to park in the lot closest to the entrance.

Answer
A
restrictive phrase.
B
nonrestrictive phrase.
C
restrictive clause.
D
nonrestrictive clause.

Explanation

“Who purchase parking spots” is a clause because it has a subject (“who”) and a verb (“purchase”). It is restrictive because it identifies which students are able to park in the closest lot; without it, the sentence would refer to all students. Therefore, the correct choice is restrictive clause.
