Question 8 • Language Arts 9

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.
B
The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.
C
Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.
D
The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.

Explanation

C is correct because “who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack” is extra information about the sister, so it is properly set off with commas. A needs commas around “president of the National Honor Society.” B incorrectly separates the subject from its verb with a comma. D should not use commas around the essential clause “that my father grew up in.”
