Question
the carnival that was in town last week had a ferris wheel, which is my favorite. restrictive independent nonrestrictive
Brief Explanations
- The clause "that was in town last week" uses "that" and narrows down which specific carnival is being discussed (it's not just any carnival, but the one from last week). This is a restrictive clause, as it's essential to identifying the noun it modifies.
- The clause "which is my favorite" uses "which", is set off by a comma, and adds extra, non-essential information about the Ferris Wheel (it doesn't change which Ferris Wheel is being referenced). This is a nonrestrictive clause.
- An independent clause can stand alone as a full sentence; neither of these clauses meet that criteria.
