Question

Which two sentences contain a restrictive clause

Answer 1

Answer:

1. We fed the kittens that we found in the shed.

3. This is the house that I grew up in

Explanation:

Restrictive clauses have three main characteristics:

• They are adjectives, meaning that they modify or gives further detail of nouns.
• They are not set off by commas.
• They are essential to the full meaning of the sentence: Without a restrictive clause, the meaning of a sentence would change, or the sentence would be incomplete and vague.

Number 1 and 3 has all those characteristics because none of them are set off by commas, number 1 describes the noun "the kittens" and number 2 describes the noun "the house", and if these clauses were removed from the sentences, the sentences would seem incomplete.

Answer 2

Sentences 1 and 3 contain the restrictive clauses.

A restrictive clause is essential for meaning and is NOT set off by commas.
