Shyann · Answer 2

The sentence 'Camels, which sway from side to side as they walk, are often called ships of the desert' includes the nonrestrictive clause.

Option A.

Explanation:

In the sentence: 'Camels, which sway from side to side as they walk, are often called ships of the desert', the nonrestrictive clause is 'which sway from side to side as they walk'.

A nonrestrictive clause adds a nonessential information added to the sentence. It is simply an extra information delivered with the main message. If the clause is to be removed, the meaning of the sentence would not change. In the above sentence, the main information is about camels being called ships of the desert. By removing or adding the detail about how a camel walks does not take away, diminish or change the main idea of the sentence.
