Verbal Aptitude

In restrictive relative clauses referring to an animal, both "that" and "which" (and sometimes "who" when pets are personalized) can be considered acceptable depending on standard vs. colloquial grammatical conventions. Because of ambiguity regarding restrictive relative pronoun selection for domestic animals, full marks were awarded to all candidates in the official answer key.
