Hi! I need some help, also when checking my answers can you tell me an easy way to remember if a sentence has an essential clause or nonessential clause? Thank you!

** My guess

12. In which sentence is the nonessential clause uppercased

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) That snake SLITHERING BEHIND THE ROCK is actually harmless

13. In which sentence is the essential clause uppercased

A) Eve's sister, WHO LOVES OPERA, oo her to a performance
B) Eve, HOLDING HER PROGRAM, waited for the curtain to go up
C) The soprano, VISITING FROM CANADA,had long black hair.
D) The person WHO SELLS SOUVENIRS is in the lobby. **

Thank you again!
