Question

read the sentence. the children, who were lucky, received presents. which statement accurately describes the sentence? the sentence includes a restrictive clause. the sentence has an appositive that is essential for understanding. the sentence contains a non - restrictive appositive. the sentence describes exactly which children received presents.

Explanation:

A non-restrictive clause is set off by commas, provides extra non-essential information, and does not narrow down the noun it modifies. In the sentence, "who were lucky" is set off by commas, adds extra detail about all the children, not a specific subset, making it non-restrictive. Restrictive clauses lack commas and define the noun, which is not the case here. The phrase is a clause, not an appositive, so options about appositives are incorrect. Since it does not specify a subset of children, the last option is also wrong.

Answer:

The sentence contains a non-restrictive appositive.
