Question 15 • 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
Only the lucky children got presents.
B
The sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause.
C
The sentence contains a nonrestrictive appositive.
D
The sentence contains a restrictive appositive.
E
All of the children got presents.

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.
