I took the Ex. 26 test and I could not fully understand the logic for some of the answers given in the book. R is Restrictive clause and NR is Non-Restrictive clause. Either R or NR is marked towards the end of the sentence
1. The cat is in my yard again. The cat has a broken leg.
The cat, that (or which) has the broken leg, is in my yard again. _NR
I don't think this is NR, we are talking about a specific cat that has a broken leg, so this should be restrictive.
6. Dragons breathe columns of fire. Dragons fly through the night sky.
Dragons that (or which) fly through the night breath columns of fire. __R__
Why is this R, we are saying any dragon who breather cloumns of fire not just those that fly through night sky. how can someone assume that only those that fly through night sky breathe fire. ?
9. The baby was rushed to the hospital. The baby’s arm was broken.
The baby, whose arm was broken, was rushed to the hospital. _NR_
Same as the 1st question, we are talking specifically about the baby whose arm was broken not any other baby.
Please advice.

Here which is correct and as per GMAT, any phrase starting with which wthin commas is non restrictive.
If you write this as " The cat that has the broken leg is in my yard again." Now it is R
I don't think this is NR, we are talking about a specific cat that has a broken leg, so this should be restrictive.
Being R or NR depends the way you write it . that without commas means R and which within commas is NR

Hi Chetan2U, I really appreciate your reply. But your answer is not helping. Basically this is a test out of GMAT club's exercise. So these options are either R or NR and not you can put them anyway you want. The second sentence is basically the answer here. I just need the explanation of why the grammar book has such an answer.
