The children, who were lucky, got presents. Which statements accurately describe the sentence? Select two options. The sentence
contains a restrictive clause. The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause. The sentence contains a restrictive appositive. The sentence contains a nonrestrictive appositive. Only the lucky children got presents. All of the children got presents.
The statements that accurately describe the sentence are:
• The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause: a nonrestrictive clause provides additional information to the sentence but it does no alter the meaning of the sentence if it is removed from it. In this case the nonrestrictive clause is “who were lucky”. Nonrestrictive clauses should be delimited by commas within the sentence.
• All of the children got presents: the meaning of the sentence exemplifies that all children got presents since the nonrestrictive clause adds optional meaning and if it were removed, the sentence would say “The children got presents”.
In my opinion, people in life or death situations should not be held accountable for their actions because it is not their fault and they have no decision
