Question

Which four clauses in these sentences are restrictive?

The girl who owns a red car is the one we are looking for.
The dog that ate my homework is called Henry.
I’m saving the muffins that have cherries for my sister.
The smile that she gave them was beautiful.

Answer 1

1.who owns a red car

2.that ate my homework

3.that have cherries

4.that she gave them

Step-by-step explanation:

A restrictive clause gives information about a noun in a sentence without separating them with commas. They modify the noun that comes before them and change the meaning of the sentence if removed.

Therefore, the four restrictive clauses from the sentences are:

1. who owns a red car

2.that ate my homework

3.that have cherries

4.that she gave them
