Question 2 • Language Arts 9

Which sentence contains a nonrestrictive clause that is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
My boss, who was recently promoted again is great at motivating, her employees.
B
My boss—who was recently promoted again is great at motivating her employees.
C
My boss, who was recently promoted again, is great at motivating her employees.
D
My boss who was recently promoted again—is great at motivating her employees.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive clause adds extra information and should be set off with commas on both sides. In choice C, “who was recently promoted again” is enclosed by commas, so the sentence is punctuated correctly. The other choices omit a needed comma or place punctuation incorrectly.
