Conrad Bender · Answer 2

4. I chose the player who ran fastest, but the other captain wanted the one with the hardest kick.

Explanation:

The other sentences have an appositive, not a restrictive clause. A restrictive clause contains necessary information for the sentence to make sense, but an appositive adds additional information that isn't quite necessary.

Appositives are listed:

1. which was long and winding

2. which must have been tame

3. which growled at me
