Question

use the drop-down menus to identify the underlined part of the sentence as restrictive or nonrestrictive.
the chicken casserole that angelo made last night was his best ever.
restrictive
nonrestrictive
which i checked out on tuesday is about a stock car driver.
the boots with the zippers are the ones i want.

Explanation:

1. For "that Angelo made last night": This clause narrows down which chicken casserole is being discussed—without it, the sentence would not specify the exact casserole, so it is restrictive.
2. For "which I checked out on Tuesday": This clause adds extra, non-essential information about the book (the core meaning of the sentence is clear without it), so it is nonrestrictive.
3. For "with the zippers": This phrase specifies exactly which boots are desired, narrowing down the set of boots, so it is restrictive.

Answer:

1. The chicken casserole that Angelo made last night was his best ever. → restrictive
2. [The book] which I checked out on Tuesday, is about a stock car driver. → nonrestrictive
3. The boots with the zippers are the ones I want. → restrictive
