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.

The line "A tree whose hungry mouth is prest" is an example of iambic
Levart [38]
Since the only way to find out if a line is written in a trimeter, or pentameter, etc. is to count the number of syllables, and then divide that number by two to get the meter, that is exactly what we are going to do here.
This line has 8 syllables: (a tree whose hung- ry mouth is prest), we should divide it by 2, which equals 4. 
So, the correct answer is that this line is an example of iambic tetrameter. Tetra means 4.

Consequences of violating Jim Crow laws<br><br> QUICK PLSSS
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

Some of the consequences if African Americans did not comply with the Jim Crow laws could be severe. If African Americans disobeyed Jim Crow laws could face fines, arrest, spent time in prison, aggression from white people and the police that sometimes could mean the death of the African American people.

One example could be the way African American people were treated during the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956.

Let's remember that this Jim Crow law severely impacted the lives of black people in the South because this racist legislation denied access to quality education, restricted their right to vote, and African Americans had poor public facilities.
