Question

question 5 which sentence is correctly punctuated? carlos, my buddy from college, is now the registrar. jayla the woman in the next apartment practices drums after midnight. applicants, who arrive after four oclock, will have to return tomorrow. a carlos, my buddy from college, is now the registrar. b jayla the woman in the next apartment practices drums after midnight. c applicants, who arrive after four oclock, will have to return tomorrow. d employees, who work 100 injury - free hours, will receive a $500 bonus in their december checks.

Explanation:

In option A, the appositive "my buddy from college" is correctly set off by commas. Option B lacks commas to set off the appositive "the woman in the next apartment". In options C and D, the non - restrictive clauses "who arrive after four o'clock" and "who work 100 injury - free hours" don't need commas if they are essential to the meaning (restrictive), and if they are non - restrictive, the usage is still not as clean as in option A in terms of standard punctuation rules for appositives and relative clauses.

Answer:

A. Carlos, my buddy from college, is now the registrar.
