Question 1 • World Literature CR SUSD (EX)

Read the sentence. The children, who were lucky, got presents. Which statements accurately describe the sentence? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
The sentence contains a nonrestrictive appositive.
B
All of the children got presents.
C
The sentence contains a restrictive appositive.
D
Only the lucky children got presents.
E
The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause.

Explanation

The clause “who were lucky” is set off by commas, so it adds extra information about the children rather than identifying which children. That makes it a nonrestrictive clause. The sentence says that the children got presents, so all the children being referred to got presents; it does not say that only lucky children got them.
