Review the archeologist's field notes. Select ALL the sentences that correctly use a reduced relative clause to describe the findings.
(Hint: Look for clauses that have been shortened by removing the relative pronoun and the "to be" verb, leaving a participle or an infinitive).

The correct answers are: The artifacts found in the hidden chamber glowed with a strange green light. Anyone touching the golden idol will immediately turn into a parrot. The last person to leave the temple must seal the stone door.

"found in the hidden chamber" is a passive reduced relative clause (shortened from which were found).

"touching the golden idol" is an active reduced relative clause (shortened from who touches).

"to leave the temple" is an infinitive reduced relative clause (shortened from who leaves).

The sentences containing "who tripped" and "which was drawn" are grammatically correct, but they contain full relative clauses, not reduced ones!
