Read the paragraph. Even though my life is very busy, I spend as much time as I can with my family. I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me. I also enjoy taking walks, baking desserts, and playing cards with my mom. However, nothing is better than watching movies with my loyal cat, Max. How should the second sentence of this paragraph be written so that it correctly uses commas?
Answer
A
I often, ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play soccer with me.
B
I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete to play, soccer with me.
C
I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.
D
I often ask my dad, who is an excellent, athlete to play soccer with me.
Explanation
The phrase “who is an excellent athlete” adds extra information about Dad, so it should be set off with commas on both sides. The sentence should read: “I often ask my dad, who is an excellent athlete, to play soccer with me.” Choice C places the commas correctly; the other choices either add commas where they aren’t needed or leave out the comma after “athlete.”
