"Restrictive Clause—That
A restrictive clause is just part of a sentence that you can't get rid of because it specifically restricts some other part of the sentence. Here's an example:
Gems that sparkle often elicit forgiveness.
The words that sparkle restrict the kind of gems you're talking about. Without them, the meaning of the sentence would change. Without them, you'd be saying that all gems elicit forgiveness, not just the gems that sparkle. (And note that you don't need commas around the words that sparkle.)
Nonrestrictive Clause—Which
A nonrestrictive clause is something that can be left off without changing the meaning of the sentence. You can think of a nonrestrictive clause as simply additional information. Here's an example:
Diamonds, which are expensive, often elicit forgiveness.
Alas, in Grammar Girl's world, diamonds are always expensive, so leaving out the words which are expensive doesn't change the meaning of the sentence. (Also note that the phrase is surrounded by commas. Nonrestrictive clauses are usually surrounded by, or preceded by, commas.)"

my answer is D
During the fight I was hit On head or the head?
1. The correct answer for the first question is A. "who". To determine the correct pronoun, we need to identify the antecedent, which is "the team." Since the team is a collective noun and refers to a group of people, we use the pronoun "who" to refer to people.
2. The correct answer for the second question is D. "Punctuation of an introductory clause." In the sentence provided, the colon is used incorrectly before the phrase "you have to be willing to work for it." Colons are used to introduce a list, explanation, or a quote. In this case, it seems that the phrase after the colon is an independent clause, which should be separated by a period or comma.
3. The correct answer for the third question is B. "were." Since the subject of the sentence is "the quarterback, along with his teammates," which is plural, we use the plural verb "were" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
