It's a nonessential word, clause, or sentence added to an already grammatically complete sentence. It's most commonly set off by brackets, but it can also be set off by commas or dashes. 

Example:
My mother went to the supermarket and picked up some strawberries (my favorite fruit) earlier today.

Which revision of the first sentence follows the style guide and best retains the clarity of the original?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Choice A:  We conducted a survey of those in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp each liked best.

Essentially, the only thing that differentiates Choice A from the rest, is it's pronoun used.

In the original, the pronoun phrase used in relation to the adjective "those," was "he or she."

From this we can infer that Choice B is out of the question since it only states "she."

Choice C, though a tempting choice, is incorrect since the word "they" isn't inclusive enough.

Choice D is erroneous because it does not provide more clarity than the original. In fact, it doesn't even seem like a revision since the two pronouns were joined by a forward slash.

40 PTS !! What is the significance of the sixth commandment in animal farm "no animal shall kill any other animal" ??? just some
Kisachek [45]

Answer:When Benjamin recites the Sixth Commandment, it has been altered to read, "No animal shall kill any other animal without cause." The additional two words added to the Sixth Commandment justify Napoleon's actions.  There are the seven commandments: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes.

Explanation:

The sixth commandment was the first to be amended to “No animal shall kill any other animal without cause”. Although not part of the seven commandments, Old Major's edict that all animals should not engage in commerce is also broken by Napoleon.
