Punctuation: Sounds in Writing

Question 3 • AISD E4CP (2025-2026)

Which sentence is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
Cameron visited his grandpa, whom—he adores, after school yesterday.
B
Cameron visited his grandpa (whom he adores) after school yesterday.
C
Cameron visited his grandpa whom—he adores—after school yesterday.
D
Cameron visited, his grandpa whom he adores, after school yesterday.

Explanation

“Whom he adores” adds extra information about Cameron’s grandpa, so it should be set off as a parenthetical. Choice B correctly encloses it in parentheses and keeps the main sentence—“Cameron visited his grandpa after school yesterday”—punctuated properly. The dashes in A and C are misplaced, and D incorrectly places a comma after “visited.”
