Calling on the writer of this book, first of all, is a thank you as this book has been very helpful to me.
However, I do have a question regarding Exercise 26 of the GMAT Grammar Book. According to the answers at the end of the book, the answer to question number 1 should be "The cat, that (or which) has the broken leg, is in my yard again" and this should be a non-restrictive clause.
Going back to the end of 2nd paragraph of the previous page, it says "However, that can ONLY be used in restrictive clauses."
So, my question is simple, how come that particular clause is judged as NR yet that is used?

I'm no expert but I'll try to explain.
That is used only for restrictive clauses. This is perfectly right.
Whereas in the sentence
Quote:
There is not much difference between
The cat that has the broken leg is in my yard again.
and
The cat which has the broken leg is in my yard again.
But when see the meaning of the sentence overall, you observe that The cat is in my yard again is the main point that is being conveyed to us.
i.e., additional information that it has the broken leg only adds info to the cat in the place of a modifier.
Since it is not the main point(Or not important in the first place) we placed it in the non-restrictive clause.
I hope you get my point
