You should place commas around a phrase the at adds additional information to the sentence, but which is not necessary.
1)<span>Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.
this part is not necessary, so commas are required before and after it
2) The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.
here the commas are unnecessary! that's because we need the information in boldface to identify the house
4) </span><span><span>My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.</span>
this is a correctly punctuated sentence - the information about being a waitress is additional.
5) The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.
here either the commas should be removed, or another comma added after "bird"
</span>

The aforementioned actions would make your presentation memorable to the audience and to remember the main points therein.
"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a really short poem with several characteristics. One of them is the amount of imagery that the poet uses to communicate not so much a message but the impressions generated by what is being perceived by the speaker. We do not know who this speaker is, or what the setting is, all we known is that most likely this person is experiencing a really torrid place, most likely the tropics, as this person speaks about fruit that falls from trees. Probably one of the most impressive images this author gives is the one about heat. The poet uses such words as "cut" and "rend open" to let us know one thing; that wherever this person is, the heat is really high. In fact, the image is so strong, that through the hyperbole of heat preventing fruit from falling, you cannot help but think about the thickness of it and you feel as if you were going through a curtain of it. This is why the correct answer is A: It emphasizes how intense and powerful the heat is.
