Question 8 • ELA 10B - 2023

Which sentence includes a nonrestrictive clause?

Answer

C

Camels, which sway from side to side as they walk, are often called ships of the desert.

F

For centuries, camels have been used to transport people and cargo through the desert.

N

Not only do they need very little water, but camels can drink water that is salty or bitter.

C

Camels can live in extreme conditions, such as in areas with extreme heat, aridity, and a lack of vegetation.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive clause adds extra information about a noun and is usually set off by commas. In A, “which sway from side to side as they walk” adds information about camels but is not needed to identify them. The other sentences do not contain a clause set off as extra, nonessential information.
