Gary thought it was funny to wear an ape suit. A real gorilla noticed him.
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.
The answer to this question is "<em>There are various ways to determine the meaning of a word, including dictionaries, thesaurus, and context clues.</em>" The reason why is because when we are reading a story the definition of the word is not always included, however the author might leave a portion of text which might indicate what the meaning might be. Then there is the case where there is no context clues that the author left us and so instead we look up the word in the dictionary. The last one is where at the end of the book the thesaurus is found there they have definitions of the words that are found in the book. Hope this helps!
