Punctuating Restrictive and Nonrestrictive Elements

Question 18 • GA-Literature and Composition I

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
T
Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.
T
The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.
M
My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.
T
The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.

Explanation

In C, “who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack” adds extra information about the sister, so commas correctly set it off. A needs commas around “president of the National Honor Society,” which renames Tanna. B incorrectly sets off the essential clause “that my father grew up in,” and D incorrectly places a comma between the subject and verb.
