OpenStudy (rccb):

In which sentence is the nonessential clause underlined? underlined = ( ) A. The man (leaning against the wall) is from the zoo B. The snake (that he is holding) is not poisonous C. Its coloring, (which is brown and green), allows it to hide in marshy areas D. The snake (slithering behind the rock) is actually harmless

OpenStudy (ihelpyoulearn):

"Which is brown and green" in "Its coloring, which is brown and green, allows it to hide in marshy areas." This would be a nonessential clause because it's a dependent clause and provides the sentence with additional information, which can be omitted without changing the meaning of the sentence. So the answer would be C. Would you agree?
