What types of punctuation can be used to set off nonrestrictive elements in a sentence? Check all that apply.

Nonrestrictive elements add extra information that is not essential to the sentence’s meaning. They can be set off with commas, dashes, or parentheses; for example, “My sister, who lives nearby, visits often.” Hyphens join parts of words, and semicolons generally connect independent clauses rather than set off nonrestrictive elements.
