Answer: A
Explanation:
Adjectival clauses also known as relative clauses are dependent clauses that describe a noun in sentences.
Punctuating adjectival clauses can be very problematic because you would have to say whether the adjectival clause in a sentence is essential or non-essential before using commas.
Essential Clause: This kind of adjectival clause is essential to the description of the noun. It is such that the sentence would be meaningless if it were taken out. E.g
The man whose house we just left loves you.
"whose house we just left" is an essential clause because there are many men in the world and without the clause we would not know the man that is being referred to.
Nonessential Clause: This is the opposite of essential clause. It is the kind of clause that a sentence can very much do without. E.g
His wife, who you have met, works at Microsoft.
"Who you have met" does not define the noun in the sentence and the sentence is still very much valid and understandable without the adjectival clause.
The rule is that, sentences with essential adjectival clauses are not punctuated while those with non-essential adjectival clauses are punctuated. As you can see in the examples above.
But with sentences that carry proper nouns e.g names of persons and places, commas are always used before their adjectival clauses because they are unique and do not necessarily need any more information.
That is why option A is the correctly punctuated sentence.
And option C is okay and doesn't need any punctuation.

Answer:
With officers in <em>the </em>(a)<em> </em>night, <em><u>he </u></em>(b)<em><u> </u></em>would march to <em><u>the canteen </u></em>(c)<em><u> </u></em><u><em>like a </em></u><em><u>guardsman. </u></em>(d)
(a) The article "the" is missing before the word night.
(b) "he" is the subject of this sentence. The subject is rather undefined, vague, and needs to be investigated for one to have a clearer understanding of what this snippet is all about.
(c) "the canteen": This is another mystery noun in the above sentence. It begs the question of location. It also raises the question of why the "he" would match off to a canteen in the night.
(d) "like a guardsman": This is a simile that electrocutes the imagination. In this sentence, the three words above, besides acting as a simile and imagery (both of which are literary tools), functions as an Adverbial Clause which serves to qualify the verb <u>march.</u>
Explanation:
The only instruction given in the question is to Annotate.
To annotate means to give more <em>meaning to, to explain, to interpret, or to make more meaningful.</em>
Please note that an adverbial clause is a dependent clause that while functioning as an adverb qualifies another adverb, a verb, or even an adjective.
By way of further annotation, it suffices to say (with respect to the Grammatical Person) that the sentence above is reported in the third person singular.

I’m pretty sure it’s a metaphor!
the poet refers to the 'wealth' of happiness and gaiety.
