Restrictive clauses are essential for the meaning of a sentence and are never separated from the rest of the sentence using commas, unlike the nonrestrictive ones.

The sentences that contain a restrictive clause are 1 and 3.

Because in sentence 1, The writer stated "That we found in the shed".

Also in sentence 3, The writer stated "That I grew up in".

These are important to in order to understand the whole sentence and cannot be deleted.


Good luck (:
