In the poem "<em>New Orleans</em>" by Joy Harjo, the author refers to the ancestral tribe, The Creeks, and their journey from Mississippi to New Orleans.

Hernando de Soto was a spanish explorer who reached the American territory in 1541. He and his men were searching for gold. He crossed Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi, until reaching New Orleans.

As a barbaric Spanish explorer, the relationship of De Soto with the native people called The Creeks was awful. As the Spanish conquerors used to do, they enslaved the indigenous people and he kept his distance from the members of the tribe.

The Creeks wanted to defend its people and land, meanwhile, De Soto was searching for the precious rock. The fights forced the Creeks to leave their ancestors territories.

Which sentence is punctuated correctly My brother, is a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.My brother,is a tru
Snezhnost [94]

I took the liberty to correct your typing. The original question does not have the verb "is" after the word "brother". The way you typed it, none of the options would be correct. The proper question is this one:

<em>Which sentence is punctuated correctly? </em>

<em>A) My brother a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>B) My brother, a truck driver spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road.  </em>

<em>D) My brother, a truck, driver spends a great deal of time on the road.</em>

<em />

The sentence that is punctuated correctly is option C) My brother, a truck driver, spends a great deal of time on the road. The structure "a truck driver" is an appositive. That means its function in this sentence is to give further information or an explanation about something that was just mentioned - in this case, the word brother. The speaker is explaining that his/her brother spends a lot of time on the road because he is a truck driver. Appositives should come between commas. That's why option C is the right one.
