Which sentences contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers?

English

Kay [80]2 years ago
6 0

A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:

  • My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove <em>Maria</em>, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.
  • My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove <em>Tory and Monica</em>, we can still identify which two people we are referring to.
  • Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove <em>which I love</em>, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.

Answer:

At the start of the book, Gregor Samsa might have turned into such an insect but it's clear when you pass thru the entirety of the series that the rest of his won't alter. Whenever anything and someone is going via a transformation, there must be an abrupt difference not just in physical attributes as well as from within.

Gregor may also have altered but he somehow decided to work and provide the food and money he required for his relatives. He realised that his family had been able to fend for themselves in his death as an insect since they can no longer rely on him to continue providing their wants.
