Question

Choose whether the following is True or False:

The clause in bold is non-defining.

They are the people who want to adopt the child.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A defining relative clause gives essential information about someone or something, whereas a non-defining relative clause gives extra or unrelated information about someone/something.
The clause in bold "who want to adopt the child" is a relative clause that defines the noun "people" by pointing out which people. Hence it is a defining clause and the statement is false.
Hence option B is correct and A is incorrect.
