Question 2 • 26/27 ENGLISH 11 A

Which sentence contains a correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifier?

Answer
A
Jake, who is twenty-seven, is studying to be a yoga teacher.
B
Jake who is, twenty-seven, is studying to be a yoga teacher.
C
Jake who is twenty-seven is, studying to be, a yoga teacher.
D
Jake, who is twenty-seven is, studying to be a yoga teacher.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive modifier adds extra information and should be enclosed by commas. In “Jake, who is twenty-seven, is studying to be a yoga teacher,” the phrase “who is twenty-seven” is correctly set off with a comma before and after it. The other choices place commas inside the modifier or separate parts of the main sentence incorrectly.
