Question 20 • English IV

Which types of punctuation can be used to set off a nonrestrictive element in a sentence? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
hyphens
B
quotation marks
C
parentheses
D
commas
E
dashes

Explanation

A nonrestrictive element adds extra information but is not essential to identifying the noun or meaning of the sentence. It can be set off with commas, parentheses, or dashes. Hyphens join parts of words, and quotation marks show quoted or specially used words, so they are not the correct choices here.
