Question

Which sentence contains a restrictive phrase? Madeline (the neighbor’s cat) was sleeping peacefully in the sun. The novelist—my favorite by far—was kindly autographing books. Jonah, the fastest runner on the track team, injured his left ankle. The window in the living room provides the best natural sunlight.

Answer 1

The restrictive phrase is an adjective phrase that is essential to the meaning of the sentence and its deletion would completely change the meaning of the sentence. From the given sentences above, the only restrictive clause is given in fourth sentence. Thus, the answer should be the fourth sentence.
