Answer:
The word which signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence is:
B. which
Explanation:
We can eliminate the two last options since "while" and "yet" are not words that initiate restrictive or nonrestrictive clauses. They can be a part of them but are not essential.
We are left with "that" and "which", both having similar uses. However, "that" can be used with restrictive clauses, but not with nonrestrictive ones. That is the reason why we chose "which" as the correct option above. A restrictive clause is a relative clause that provides essential information about a noun or noun phrase, limiting it. A nonrestrictive clause is set off by commas, and the information provided by it can be taken out without any harm to the meaning or the message being conveyed. Take a look at the examples below:
- The clothes that I bought online must be delivered tomorrow. (restrictive)
- The clothes, which were donated by Jen, were impeccably clean. (nonrestrictive)
The
sentence that uses grammar correctly is: Joan is the person who hired me. The

A
pronoun is used to substitute a noun. In order for it to substitute, it must
have a clear antecedent. Personal pronouns are used to substitute nouns with
ownership. There are three persons point of view.1st person is when
the subject is the one who is speaking (e.g. I, me, my, mine, we, us, our, ours). 2nd person is
when the subject is the one being spoken to (you, your, yours). 3rd person is when the subject is
the one spoken about (he, him, his,
she, her, hers, it, its, they, their, theirs).</span>
Words like first, next, and finally indicate chronological organization
Answer:
"First, the plesiosaur is an air breather." is the line from the article that best disproves the plesiosaur theory. In the article, the author argues that because plesiosaurs were air breathers, they would need to come up for air more frequently than any sightings ever occur. As there are so few "sightings" every year and supposedly fewer now than ever, it is unlikely that Nessie is a plesiosaur.
