The three statements that describe characteristics of a restrictive clause are:

  1. It contains a subject and a verb.
  2. It is not set apart by punctuation.
  3. It is essential to the meaning of the sentence.

Restrictive clauses provide necessary information to understand the sentence fully, so they are not set off by commas and are integral to the sentence's meaning.
