Which statements describe characteristics of a nonrestrictive clause? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
It is essential to the meaning of the sentence.
B
It is set off by commas.
C
It adds nonessential information to the sentence.
D
It contains a subject and a verb.
E
It is not set apart by punctuation.

Explanation

A nonrestrictive clause adds information that is not essential to identify or understand the main point, so A is correct and B is not. Like other clauses, it contains a subject and a verb, making C correct. It is usually set off from the rest of the sentence by commas, so E is correct; D describes the punctuation of a restrictive clause.
