This will depend totally on the way sentence is framed.
If you can post a question that has this construction, it would be easy to answer your question.

Thanks for replying.
I understand 'that' can be used in multiple ways(different parts of speech) in sentence formation, Can you provide any generalized answer where a phrase/clause starting with "THAT" can be eliminated or where we cannot?
Question from OG'12, 66.
"The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are
closely related to whales and in fact include the animal
known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30
feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting
pods"
(A) include the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow to be 30 feet long and is
(B) include the animal known as the killer whale,
growing as big as 30 feet long and
(C) include the animal known as the killer whale,
growing up to 30 feet long and being
(D) includes the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is
(E) includes the animal known as the killer whale,
which can grow to be 30 feet long and it is
I can pick the answer by eliminating other trivial grammatical errors,
Initially I ran into 'THAT' doubt because for a moment I was doubting about the subject, whether is it "32 Species(plural) or dolphin family(singular)"? Do I need to skip the line started with 'that make up...'?
Regards.
