Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    1. The Mercedes which is a car made in Germany is sold in most countries.

    • A.

      A. Commas

    • B.

      B. No Commas

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Commas
    Explanation
    The sentence contains a nonessential or nonrestrictive clause, "which is a car made in Germany." This clause provides additional information about the Mercedes but is not necessary for understanding the main point of the sentence. In such cases, commas are used to separate the nonessential clause from the rest of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Commas.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. No Commas
    Explanation
    In this sentence, there is no need for commas. The phrase "that he drove on vacation" provides essential information about the car and is not a nonrestrictive clause. Therefore, it does not require commas to separate it from the rest of the sentence.

    • A.

      A. Commas

    • B.

      B. No Commas

    Correct Answer
    B. B. No Commas
    Explanation
    In this sentence, there is no need for commas because the phrase "that you were telling him about" is essential to the meaning of the sentence. It provides important information about which Harry Potter book the friend bought. Therefore, the sentence is correct without any commas.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    4. The latest Harry Potter book which is entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was recently published.

    • A.

      A. Commas

    • B.

      B. No Commas

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Commas
    Explanation
    Commas should be used in this sentence to set off the nonrestrictive clause "which is entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." This clause provides additional information about the latest Harry Potter book but is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Therefore, it should be separated by commas to indicate that it is not a necessary part of the sentence structure.

    • A.

      A. Commas

    • B.

      B. No Commas

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Commas
    Explanation
    The use of commas in this sentence is correct. The sentence is stating that designer clothes, which typically have a higher cost than regular clothes, can be affordable if they are purchased on sale. The commas are used to set off the phrase "which tend to cost much more than regular clothes" as additional information about designer clothes.

    Correct Answer
    B. B. No Commas
    Explanation
    The sentence is a simple statement that does not require any additional punctuation. The phrase "Some people shop online to find designer clothes that are affordable" flows smoothly without the need for commas.

    7. Aveda which uses natural herbs in its product has a sap moss shampoo.

    • A.

      A. Commas

    • B.

      B. No Commas

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Commas
    Explanation
    The correct answer is A. Commas. This is because the sentence contains additional information (which uses natural herbs in its product) that is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. When non-essential information is included in a sentence, it is typically set off by commas to indicate that it can be removed without changing the overall meaning of the sentence.

    B. B. No Commas
    Explanation
    The sentence is a simple statement that does not require any additional punctuation. It is clear and concise, and the absence of commas does not affect the meaning or structure of the sentence.
