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

English
1 answer:
trasher [3.6K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B. The inhabitants of Atlantis, the setting of an ancient legend, were half god and half human

Explanation:

A nonrestrictive clause must always be separated from the rest of the sentence by two commas, one placed at the beginning and the other placed at the end. An example of this can be seen in the option selected above, where the "setting of an ancient legend" for being a nonrestrictive clause, was separated by two commas.

A nonrestrictive clause is a part of the sentence that shows additional information, which enriches the text, but is not necessary to promote understanding and does not interfere in the construction of the sentence.

The Kite Runner<br> Amir believes Baba hates him because amir did what to his mother?
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Amir's birth led to the death of his mother.

Explanation:

Khaled Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" is the story of Amir, a boy from Afghanistan who, more than 26 years later, recounts his childhood years. It also revolves around the theme of identity, belonging and the effects f the numerous traumatic events that he experienced.

Amir's relationship with his father is not the good and he also admitted to being the cause of it. For, Amir's mother had died while giving birth to Amir. Baba blamed him for taking away the life of his wife, even though she gave him a son too. He even stated in Chapter III "<em>I always felt like Baba hated me a little. And why not? After all, I had killed his beloved wife, his beautiful princess, hadn’t I?</em>" Thus, Amir believed that Baba hated him for the death of his mother.

Why does Julius almost put the book of haiku back on the shelf? What factors lead to his momentary doubt that haiku is for him?
alina1380 [7]
<span>The name Julius has its origin in Rome, so the fact that his background is not Japanese, then that could make haiku somewhat foreign to him. Another reason Julius could be putting the haiku back on the shelf might be the fact that he has other options of books to read that are better or more appealing to him or subjects with which he has previous experience.</span>

VladimirAG [237]

The correct answer is A.

<em>Quotation marks</em> ( quotes, speech marks, inverted comas, talking marks) are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off direct speech, a quotation or a phrase. The pair consists of the opening quotation marks and closing quotation marks.

Quotation marks set apart a direct quotation. An example: My mother said <em>"don't do it"</em> when I wanted to enter her room.

Quotation marks are also used to mark a title, a direct speech or a square quote.
