Question 7 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause and is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students—which they loved—and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
B
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students which they loved—and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
C
The teacher packed picnic lunches (for all the students) which they loved and ate lunch outside with them at recess.
D
The teacher packed picnic lunches for all the students which they loved and ate lunch outside with them (at recess).

Explanation

A nonrestrictive clause adds extra information that is not essential to identify the noun. In A, “which they loved” adds information about the picnic lunches and is correctly set off with em dashes. The other choices do not correctly set off this clause; parentheses around “for all the students” do not make “which they loved” nonrestrictive.
