Writing an Informative Essay about Compromise — Unit test

Question 10 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 9 B

Which word signals a nonrestrictive clause in a complex sentence?

Answer
A
that
B
which
C
while
D
yet

Explanation

“Which” often introduces a nonrestrictive clause, which adds extra information rather than identifying the noun. Such clauses are usually set off by commas, as in “The book, which I borrowed yesterday, is fascinating.” “That” typically introduces a restrictive clause, while “while” and “yet” have other uses.
