Explanation:

A relative clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun/pronoun, starting with a relative pronoun (who, which, that, etc.).

1. "The guide who led us through the canyon was very friendly": Uses "who" to modify "the guide" (relative clause: who led us through the canyon).
2. "Palm trees, which grow in warm climates, typically have large leaves": Uses "which" to modify "palm trees" (relative clause: which grow in warm climates).
3. "My brother bought me a laptop that has a built-in camera": Uses "that" to modify "a laptop" (relative clause: that has a built-in camera).

The other two sentences lack relative pronouns and dependent modifying clauses.

Answer:

• The guide who led us through the canyon was very friendly.
• Palm trees, which grow in warm climates, typically have large leaves.
• My brother bought me a laptop that has a built-in camera.
