Question

use the drop-down menus to choose the correct relative pronoun for each sentence.

the camp dropdown i attended last summer is in the adirondack mountains.
my pet goldfish, dropdown i won at the state fair, is named zippy.

Explanation:

Analyze the first sentence

The first sentence is: "The camp [blank] I attended last summer is in the Adirondack Mountains."
The clause "[blank] I attended last summer" is a restrictive relative clause because it is essential to identifying which specific camp is being referred to (no commas are used). For restrictive clauses referring to non-human things ("camp"), the relative pronoun "that" is the standard and correct choice.

Analyze the second sentence

The second sentence is: "My pet goldfish, [blank] I won at the state fair, is named Zippy."
The clause "[blank] I won at the state fair" is set off by commas, making it a nonrestrictive relative clause (it adds extra information about the already identified "my pet goldfish"). For nonrestrictive clauses referring to non-human things ("goldfish"), the relative pronoun "which" must be used instead of "that".

Answer:

Use the drop-down menus to choose the correct relative pronoun for each sentence.

The camp <blank>that</blank> I attended last summer is in the Adirondack Mountains.
My pet goldfish, <blank>which</blank> I won at the state fair, is named Zippy.
