Question 10 • HACHMAN FL-1001400-English 4 A 26/27

Which sentence includes a nonrestrictive clause that is punctuated correctly?

Answer
A
We ate pistachio ice cream—which is my favorite and played laser tag.
B
We ate pistachio ice cream which is my favorite, and played laser tag.
C
We ate pistachio ice cream—which is my favorite—and played laser tag.
D
We ate pistachio ice cream (which is my favorite and played laser tag).

Explanation

“Which is my favorite” adds extra information about the pistachio ice cream, so it is a nonrestrictive clause. An interrupting nonrestrictive clause should be set off on both sides; choice C correctly uses an em dash before and after it. Choice A leaves out the closing dash, while choice B uses only a comma after the clause.
