Question

Which sentence contains a restrictive phrase? Madeline (the neighbor’s cat) was sleeping peacefully in the sun. The novelist—my favorite by far—was kindly autographing books. Jonah, the fastest runner on the track team, injured his left ankle. The window in the living room provides the best natural sunlight.

Answer 1

The sentences that contain restrictive phrases are:

Madeline (the neighbor’s cat) was sleeping peacefully in the sun.

Jonah, the fastest runner on the track team, injured his left ankle.  

Explanation:

• The restrictive phrase is the phrase that gives important information on the subject.  

• It helps us to distinguish between the subject we are talking about and the subjects present at the time.  

• For example, if we say that “The boy in the black jacket is my brother” so “in the black jacket” is the restrictive phrase as it helps us to recognize or restrict our subject or noun.
