Answer 1

Let's analyze each of the sentences for correctness:

1. "I need shoes which are more comfortable for the marathon."

   • This sentence is correct, but "that" is typically preferred in American English for essential clauses.

2. "My cat, that mostly stays outside, climbs on the window when she wants to come inside."

   • This sentence is incorrect. "That" should not be used in non-restrictive clauses, so it should be "My cat, who mostly stays outside, climbs on the window when she wants to come inside."

3. "My family adopted a dog that is a Dalmatian and Retriever mix."

   • This sentence is correct. "That" is appropriately used in a restrictive clause.

4. "The clothes, which are dirty, won't all fit in the washing machine."

   • This sentence is correct. "Which" is properly used for non-restrictive clauses.

Summary

• Correct: 1, 3, and 4.
• Incorrect: 2.

If you are only looking for correct sentences, sentences 1, 3, and 4 are correct.
