The correct answers are (B) <em>The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and their need, will defend to the death their native soils, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength, even though a large tract of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule.</em> and (C) <em>We shall not flag nor fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France and on the seas and oceans; we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air</em>. In both of these extracts, Churchill explains how the combined power resulting from the collaboration with their allies like France could channel the ultimate victory over the threat to freedom that the Gestapo and the Nazis represented.

The commas must be placed both before and after the nonessential element. For example...
My mom, who hates cooking, ordered takeout.
"who hates cooking" is the nonessential element, and you can see that a comma goes before and after it.

Answer:
"You are going near the post office?" Mrs. Reid asked her husband.
"Yes," he said. "Is there anything you want?"
"Could you get me a small registered envelope, please?" Mrs. Reid said, "I've got to send some money to my sister in Guyana."
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
Explanation:
There are many ways that this paragraph could be punctuated. However, in my interpretation, I used commas to integrate my quotation marks, etc.
For example:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
I decided to add a period to the end of "said." However, you could choose to do it differently. For example, you could choose to write it like this:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said, "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
(Notice how I replaced the period with a comma? That simply means that "Ok and "I'll get a Coulee" is all one sentence versus two sentences. Both versions are grammatically correct. The writer simply needs to choose which one s/he wants.)
