which statements describe characteristics of a restrictive clause? choose three correct answers.
it contains a subject and a verb.
it is essential to the meaning of the sentence.
it adds nonessential information to the sentence.
it is set off by commas.
it is not set apart by punctuation.

Explanation:

1. A restrictive clause has a subject and a verb (it's a clause), so "It contains a subject and a verb" is correct.
2. Restrictive clauses are essential to the sentence's meaning (they define or restrict the noun), so "It is essential to the meaning of the sentence" is correct.
3. Restrictive clauses are not set off by punctuation (unlike non - restrictive), so "It is not set apart by punctuation" is correct.

• "It is set off by commas" is for non - restrictive.
• "It adds nonessential information" is for non - restrictive.
