A(n) ____ is a type of dependent clause that is essential to the meaning of the sentence.
A
nonrestrictive clause
B
restrictive clause
C
subordinating clause
D
independent clause
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sometimes a dependent clause appears in the middle of a sentence. If it’s essential to the sentence’s meaning, it’s called a restrictive clause and doesn’t require a comma. If the clause is just extraneous information, it’s called a non-restrictive clause (non-essential clause) and does require commas.

Detailed explanation-2: -A restrictive clause is a dependent clause that modifies a word (noun). The information it gives is necessary for description or identification. In other words, removing a restrictive clause will typically change a meaning within the sentence.

Detailed explanation-3: -A nonrestrictive clause adds additional information to a sentence. It is usually a proper noun or a common noun that refers to a unique person, thing, or event. It uses commas to show that the information is additional. The commas almost act like parentheses within the sentence.

Detailed explanation-4: -A nonrestrictive element describes a word whose meaning is already clear without the additional words. It is not essential to the meaning of the sentence and is set off with commas. Example: The children needed sturdy shoes, which were expensive. In this sentence we learn an extra fact-the shoes were expensive.

Detailed explanation-5: -A restrictive clause modifies the noun that precedes it in an essential way. Restrictive clauses limit or identify such nouns and cannot be removed from a sentence without changing the sentence’s meaning. A nonrestrictive clause, on the other hand, describes a noun in a nonessential way.
