You have learned that nonrestrictive relative clauses can refer to a noun phrase or to the main clause as a whole. When its referent is just a noun phrase, the nonrestrictive relative clause plays the role of an appositive. In the excerpt below, the nonrestrictive relative clause has been reduced, following the principles of the relative pronoun + verb to be deletion rule. Choose the option that best rephrases the statement below, while also eliciting the previously deleted relative pronoun and verb to be.

Para reescrever a frase de forma que o pronome relativo e o verbo "to be" sejam explicitamente incluídos, precisamos identificar a estrutura correta que mantém o sentido original. Analisando as opções: 1. "But experts say the wildfires have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program which is the small size of the so-called buffer pool, (...)." - Esta opção não usa o hífen e não é a forma mais adequada. 2. "But experts say the wildfires have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program - which is the small size of the so-called buffer pool, (...)." - Esta opção usa o hífen corretamente e mantém a estrutura de uma cláusula relativa não restritiva. A opção que melhor reescreve a frase, incluindo o pronome relativo e o verbo "to be", é a segunda: "But experts say the wildfires have highlighted one of the main weaknesses in the program - which is the small size of the so-called buffer pool, (...)."
