Answer:

"Infernal" - from the 3 words given the closest in meaning : annoying.

Explanation:

All the words are adjectives, they modify / clarify nouns and pronouns.

Infernal: Formal english: something that belongs to the underworld of the dead, hellish or diabolic.

Informal english: something annoying or confounded. (extra annoying)

Annoying; irritating, perturbing, unwelcome, pester etc.

Fiery: A fire based object that burns strongly and brightly releasing a lot of heat. Synonyms could be flaming, blazing, ablaze, burning etc.

Unpleasant: something that causes annoyance, is disagreeable, irritable, etc

When making use of the word infernal it is used to emphasis the degree of annoyance beyond normal.

For example: I have a terrible headache caused by the infernal party noise at my neighbor´s house all night long.

Here the use of infernal goes beyond annoying (extra annoying)

Therefore, from the options provided the closest logical answer is annoying.

Jim my father is going to drive me to the mall.” Which element in the sentence is nonrestrictive?

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The words, "...my father..." is the nonrestrictive element in this sentence.

Explanation:

A nonrestrictive element describes a word's meaning that is already clarified without the use of additional words. It is not crucial to the meaning of the sentence and is usually surrounded by commas.

The sentence you provided (it needs commas after "Jim" and before the word "is.": "Jim, my father, is going to drive me to the mall."

We can just say, "Jim is going to drive me to the mall," and it will still make sense. Therefore, we would not need the words (they are nonrestrictive), "...my father..." because it is an unnecessary addition of words that one does not need in the sentence for it to make sense.

I hope this helps you understand! Have a nice day.
