Everyone is excited for the pep rally. Katie and Jill are in charge of blowing up the balloons, their least favorite task. They hate how the balloons have to be completely full or they won't float. On the other side of the gym, Sam is practicing the cheer routine. If she doesn't practice, she could embarrass herself. The last to arrive are Brynn and Avery with the shirts to give away. As long as everyone does their part, the pep rally will be a success.

The relative pronoun that is used with an essential clause, and the relative pronoun which is used with a nonessential clause. In 3–5 sentences, explain when to use each pronoun and the difference between the two types of relative clauses. (2 points)
The relative pronoun "that" is used with an essential clause, also known as a restrictive clause. This type of clause provides necessary information to the sentence and cannot be omitted without changing the meaning. "That" is used to introduce restrictive clauses that are necessary for identifying the noun being modified.
On the other hand, the relative pronoun "which" is used with a nonessential clause, also known as a nonrestrictive clause. This type of clause provides additional, nonessential information that can be omitted without changing the meaning of the sentence. "Which" is used to introduce nonrestrictive clauses that provide additional details or clarification about the noun being modified.
Knowing when to use "that" or "which" depends on whether the clause is essential or nonessential to the sentence's meaning. An essential clause is necessary for identifying the noun, while a nonessential clause adds extra information but can be removed without altering the sentence's core meaning.
