Peck · Answer 1

Restrictive clauses are not offset by commas, therefore answer choice D is eliminated. Also, this type of clause functions as an adjective.

In this case, the best answer is B. The restrictive clause is, "who broke the downstairs window with a baseball". That clause describes the girl, which identifies who the girl is. She's the girl who broke the window.
