Answer 1

$\small{\fcolorbox{red}{indigo}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{violet}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{pink} {\small{\fcolorbox{red}{red}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{springgreen}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{blue}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{yellow} {\small{\fcolorbox{red}{azure} {\small{\fcolorbox{red}{blue}{\small{\fcolorbox{red}{orange}{\huge{\fcolorbox{red}{green}{\large{\fcolorbox{blue}{red}{{\fcolorbox{orange}{aqua}{Answer}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}$

However, there is equilibrium everywhere: in sentences that have subject relative clauses, you can't omit the relative pronoun, but you can reduce clauses to phrases. We can do this by omitting the subject pronoun and the form of “to be” that follows it.
