Answer:

not set off with commas

Step-by-step explanation:

Adjective clauses are dependent clauses whose function is to modify or describe nouns. They can be either restrictive or nonrestrictive. Unlike nonrestrictive clauses, a restrictive clause is essential to the meaning of the sentence, meaning that without it, the sentence would be incomplete, vague or would have a different meaning. Therefore, they are not set off by commas because restrictive clauses can no be removed from the sentence. Here's some examples:

The doctor who attended me last week is sick.

I admire people who care for those in need

*The restrictives adjectives are underlined*
