c. 我在那里的大部分时间都感到害怕和无聊。
2. What do "where", "which" and "when" refer to in each sentence
The key:
“where” refers to the waiting area, 在从句中做状语。
“which” refers to the whole sentence “laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better.” 在从句中作主语。
"when" refers to time. 在从句中作状语
Step2.
Which sentences contain a clause with essential information and which with extra information If you take away the clauses, do the sentences still make sense
The key: sentences with essential information: c.
sentences with extra information: a, b.
Step3.
Which clauses are separated by a comma, the ones with essential information or the ones with extra information

Conclusion: Three factors we have to consider when using defining or non-defining attributives:
★ which part is the antecedent
★ whether the information is essential or extra
★ whether the clause is separated by a comma

我和值班护士交谈,她告诉我劳拉从自行车上摔下来后,劳拉的父母急忙把她送到医院。
Conclusion 结论
1. 限定性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确;非限定性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思。
2. 限定性定语从句与主句之间没有逗号分隔, 非限定性定语从句与主句之间通常用逗号分开,如果将非限定性定语从句放在句子中间,其前后都需要用逗号隔开。
3. 限定性定语从句的先行词为具体的人或物,而非限定性定语从句的先行词可以是具体的人,物或者整个主句,或主句的一部分。
4. 非限定性定语从句不能用that和why 来引导。
5. 非限定性定语从句先行词为主句的一部分
从句前有逗号,与主句隔开。该信息为补充信息,非必要信息。
