Which sentences contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers?

English
1 answer:
Kay [80]3 years ago
6 0

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.

Read the comment by Huck from chapter 23 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Remark

What huck sees and how he interprets it is what this short comment is about. I would pick

<em>Despite his lack of formal upbringing, Huck has good intuition when it comes to reading situations.</em>

<em />

Yes, he exaggerates some, but the exaggeration does nothing to distort what he's looking at.

He doesn't always look for humor and sometimes he just plain wrong. I think it's Chapter 16 where Jim talks about the value of children and concludes that Solomon was not as wise as he was made out to be. Jim's insightful analysis is way above Huck's head and the passage is neither funny nor Jim's analysis exaggerated.
