Question 17 • CA-English Language Arts 12 B – 1744

Which sentence should be revised to include commas to set off a nonrestrictive element?

Answer
A
The car in my driveway belongs to my oldest sister.
B
The game that my mom gave me is really fun to play.
C
The tree in front of my house has been there for a century.
D
The TV show which we watch together airs on Friday nights.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive element adds extra information that is not needed to identify the noun and is set off with commas. In D, “which we watch together” adds information about the TV show, so the sentence should read: “The TV show, which we watch together, airs on Friday nights.” The other choices use phrases or clauses that identify which car, game, or tree is meant.
