A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:
- My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove <em>Maria</em>, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.
- My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove <em>Tory and Monica</em>, we can still identify which two people we are referring to.
- Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove <em>which I love</em>, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.

Answer:
A). What is a pipette and a concave slide?
Explanation:
As per the question, <u>the most likely question a reader unaware of the scientific equipment would ask would be that 'what is a pipette and a concave slide</u>.' This is because he needs to know about what these equipment(Pipette and a Concave slide) are and their uses for understanding the procedure. Without knowing that a pipette is a small tube with an enlargement or bulb in the middle for transferring measured quantities of liquid and a concave slide is a microscopic slide used for examining comparatively thicker samples, they would not be able to either understand the process or follow it. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
