Which sentence uses commas correctly to set off a nonrestrictive clause?

English

Answer:

C. The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.

Explanation:

a <em>non-restrictive clause</em> is when you have a sentence, and you add more information that doesn't "restrict" the sentence using a set/pair of commas.

Ex.  I was born in 2001, the year of 9/11, ... [here, I could add anything I want--which is why this is a non-restrictive clause]

complete example:  We went to the zoo, my favorite place in the whole world, and learned about some neat animals.

So, we can see the use of two commas with information between them.

In the options given, <em> The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.</em>

is the sentence which uses a nonrestrictive clause correctly.

<em />

<em>Sentence: The waiting list for swimming lessons strangely had an opening this morning. </em>

<em>Added information: which is always full</em>

<em>together:   The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.</em>

<em />

<em />

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)

Read the excerpt from chapter 30 of The Awakening. "There are so many inquisitive people and institutions abounding" said Arobin
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Monsieur Ratignolle's reaction to Arobin's remark reveals:

D. Monsieur Ratignolle is a traditional family man, unable to understand Arobin's unconventional choices.​

Explanation:

In Kate Chopin's "The Awakening", characters Monsieur Alphonse Ratignolle and  Alcée Arobin seem to function as each other's foil. That is, they are each other's opposite, one seeming to enhance the qualities of the other precisely because of such difference.

<u>Arobin is a womanizer - a Don Juan type. He has a more carefree way of viewing and facing life. As a matter of fact, he becomes the main character's - Edna - lover. On the other hand, Monsieur Ratignolle is a role model of character and faithfulness. He and his wife seem to represent the ideal married couple. Ratignolle is regarded by his community as an example of integrity.</u>

With that in mind, we can easily choose letter D as the best option: Monsieur Ratignolle is a traditional family man, unable to understand Arobin's unconventional choices.​

skelet666 [1.2K]
I would say either D or B but it depends on whether the Romantic ideals are personal to the character or if they’re a theme throughout the story :)
