When knowledge of sugar was just beginning to spread from India, from Persia, from Greece, from the great school of Jundi Shapur, cooks working for the wealthiest people treated it as a spice, blending it with other tastes. They continued to do that for another thousand years.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we can see that the sugar was expensive and hard to get, as only the wealthiest people could afford it and hire cooks to blend it with other tastes.

Which sentence uses commas correctly to set off a nonrestrictive clause?

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C. The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.

Explanation:

a non-restrictive clause is when you have a sentence, and you add more information that doesn't "restrict" the sentence using a set/pair of commas.

Ex. I was born in 2001, the year of 9/11, ... [here, I could add anything I want--which is why this is a non-restrictive clause]

complete example: We went to the zoo, my favorite place in the whole world, and learned about some neat animals.

So, we can see the use of two commas with information between them.

In the options given, The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.

is the sentence which uses a nonrestrictive clause correctly.

Sentence: The waiting list for swimming lessons strangely had an opening this morning.

Added information: which is always full

together: The waiting list for swimming lessons, which is always full, strangely had an opening this morning.

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)

if you get caught in the rain and your clothes get wet, you feel much colder if it is windy than you would if there was no wind.

Nadusha1986 [10]

You would feel much colder if it’s windy because the cold air is hitting your body while your clothes are wet.If there is no wind then you still feel a little breeze but it’s not as cold.
