Which sentences contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers

The correct answers are My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot/ My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies/ Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest!

Explanation:

The general punctuation rule for a nonrestrictive modifier is that these should be enclosed by commas. Moreover, this type of modifier describes a noun but the modifier is not essential, which means it can be omitted. According to this, there are three sentences with a non-essential modifier punctuated correctly:

1. My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot- In this sentence, the modifier "Maria" can be omitted because there is only one oldest sister; also, this is enclosed by commas, which makes it a correct answer

2. My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies- Similarly, in this sentence, the modifier "Tory and Monica", can be omitted and this is correctly punctuated, therefore this is also a correct answer.

3. Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - In this sentence the main idea is to express bulldogs are the cutest, thus, the modifier is non-essential and it has been punctuated correctly. This is the third answer.

Correct Answers: B. C. E.

"My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot"

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

dude, * is in your own words, not mine.

* = the answer
