Answer:

b. A popular and experienced deputy, Jackson was the clear choice for sheriff.

Explanation:

Introductory phrases are usually followed by a comma, especially when they are long (more than four words). This is so to separate the information of the phrase with the information of the main or independent clause. Option B, therefore, is the correct option because it consists o a phrase and an independent clause separated by a comma.

The other options, on the other hand, are incorrect because when two words (such as in option A and C) are separated by the conjunction “and,” a comma is not usually required, semicolons do not separate introductory phrases (option C) and the clause in option D “Jackson was the clear choice, for sheriff” should not be separated by any punctuation.

Answer: Relative clause is "that are not registered." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence and, therefore, does not require commas.

Explanation:

A clause that starts with a relative pronoun (who, that, which, whose, where, when) is called a relative clause. The purpose of these clauses is to provide more information about the noun that precedes them. In this case, relative clause "that are not registered" is used to describe the noun "cars." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence, since it tells us which cars in particular will be towed to the nearest impound lot. If a clause provides important information, it is considered essential and does not require commas.
