Answer
A
My science teacher, who is new to my school, is encouraging me to enter the science fair.
B
My friend Ray a figure skater would like to learn to play chess.
C
Javier made a sculpture out of seashells, that he found on the beach.
D
The roses that I planted in my garden have not yet bloomed.
E
The winning dog which is a collie completed the course in only twelve seconds.
Explanation
A is correct because “who is new to my school” adds extra information, so it is set off with commas. D is correct because “that I planted in my garden” identifies which roses, so it is not set off with commas. B needs commas around “a figure skater,” and C should not have a comma before the identifying clause “that he found on the beach.” E needs commas around the extra information “which is a collie.”
